My Shadow

You’re always following me 

Shadowing, copying,

My every move. 

No matter what I do,

As long as there’s light, 

You’ll follow along too. 

No matter what I do 

You shadow me 

The whole way through; 

Your my shadow

It’s what you do. 

If I’m scared 

And alone you are too,

If I’m happy 

And excited 

You’ll follow in my skip.

No matter where

Life takes me

I know you’ll trail along. 

Only when it’s dark

You disappear,

And I’m left 

Truly alone

Without anyone

Shadowing my every move. 

So I ignore the darkness,

And stick to the light

Soundly knowing 

You’ll be right behind me 

The whole way through.
