The Shadow

I wake to find myself lost,

I need answers no matter the cost.

Am I alive or am I dead?

Am I hungry or have been fed?

I  question myself, do you as well,

Come with me I have a wonderful story to tell . 

I am my own shadow don't you see, 

I am whatever it is you want me to be.

I rime freely among the night, 

I walk behind you to hide from the light.

Turn around and you will find, 

That I'm not too far behind.

I am with you wherever you may go, 

I am everywhere as you already know.

I train myself to do the things you do,

I learn to like you, do you like me too?

I really am something to see,

I am you and you are me.

I am nothing more than darkness beneith  your feet, 

I think it would be best that we never meet.

My story is nothing more than a dream,

The shadow is more real than he may seem.
