A Shadow
I have spent my life living in your shadow,
Following your every move.
Not down a path I wish to take,
I follow you, as to not forsake.
No longer can I follow you into this abyss,
No longer will I let fear guide me.
Now I wander alone,
No life and no home.
I am ghost,
A shadow looking for a host.
I will find myself in the darkness.
Heed my words,
The next time you see me,
You'll believe in ghosts,
You'll walk in my shadow.
