Shadows

-Behind me but never in front of me -With me and never seen creeping -On the side of me but never in my place -Sometimes my eyes fool me, because when I turn my face -It's gone without a trace, but I know it's there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -With everyturn, with every spin my eyes lose. -It's like they're after me -Unsecure of their purpose, night fall my friend, day time my enemy. -It is as if what is behind me tries to catch up to me -Like the Earth's solitude crumbling -Jumbling, shaking, I lose grip and my feet slip. -I trip and now the tables have flipped -I am now the shadow -i wonder how long would time and previous last? -A shadow or shadows you find hard to cast. -It's sad because it would always be with you in the light -Then at night everyone forgets, -When the sun is present we are reminded -And sometimes they worry if it's you or the shadows they would trust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -With doubt, you want who you really are to last. -Shadows cover your colors like a darkness' mask -And as they get close to you they reach for the grasp ........shadows are nothing but hauntings of the past.
