Begone My Shadow

everywhere i go you follow
everything i do you immitate
you look a lot like me
yet we have nothing in common!
they say shadow is your name
annoying is your game
why are you tomenting me?

you do whatever you want without my consent
how can i call you friend?
?sometimes you choose to walk in front of me
seldomly pretend to be humble & follow behind!
At times feign to be my companion
walk beside me as if we are friends!
where is your honor?
i bet you mus be ashamed of yourself 
nor wonder why you never show your face!

The dark is my only escape from you
but how long can a man live in darkness?
you leave me with no other option
except to stand your annoying presence
you wait patiently till i return
so you can toment me more
turn all my light into darkness..shadow why?

i hear my brother complain about you 
...and my sister too!
always there but never seem to help
always there but never seem to care
maybe you are just that demon tomenting all of us
where is your consience?

why you are here...no one knows!
i sometimes think maybe yew just a reminder 
that there is a little darkness in every one of us
or maybe you just take fun...
in turning the little light we have into darkness
what do you gain from that?

i think now its time for you to grow up
accept that no one wants you
we all are fed up of your dirty little tricks
just pack your bags and leave
Shadow just go away...i do'nt want you here!??
