My Shadow

A Light flashes and a mysterious image on the ground is projected from me/ some may call it my shadow/ but this that is called "shadow"/ is more than that to me/ Its a place between me and destiny/ that's currently now in a state of vacancy/ empty/a figment of my imagination and a (chuckles) mere shadow of my former self/ but this shadow has grown into something more/ that it became an inspiration of a feeling that I continously felt/ you see my shadow has always given me more than a depiction of me/ The shadow gave me comfort while I was awake and even when I was sleep/ i walked down streets/ and i never felt alone/ even in my darkest times my shadow is the very thing I hold/ and i hold on to tightly/ I am defensive of my shadow so I dont take my shadow lightly/ I know some of you are looking at me funny and calling me crazy/ but it's no different from you embracing your fantasy/ so I embrace my shadow/the spectre of my dreams/ and the mysterious image that follows me/I smile looking back at my shadow/ because not only does it represent me/ but it represents a person and dream that one day will turn from shadow and dream into a reality/
