Follow the leader

March 3, 2016

Behind you can find a shadow,

Continuing to grow.

We play follow the leader

I wear the crown

Yet, soon I will become the pleader

Black patches lay on my skin

For the shadow is beginning to over rule

The shadow will always win.

I'm no longer a being

I stay sleeping in the shadow

Away from the bleeding.
