Shadow


Never alone, don't you forget.
 
 
 
There is someone black, behind you knowing your regrets.
 
 
 
Holding your sins, holding your flaws ready to exploit them all.
 
 
 
Holding your shape, but not the inside.
 
 
 
The shadow can't copy your heart, it does not have the power.
 
 
 
It can only copy, don't let it copy your wrongdoings.
 
 
 
Let it copy your accomplishments, let it copy your love.
 
 
 
Then, let the shadow go, it will become a new person.
 
 
 
The shadow will gain a shadow and the new shadow will copy what you had told your shadow to do.
