Losing Myself

I don't know why I chase this shadow The one that moves as I reach out I don't know why it follows me Always seeks me out Lost within a dream, from which i can't wake Is it just fooling me, All my happy, it does take Why is the shadow here, does it come in peace Or is it just lonely And wanting attention from me It could be that it has a gift, to see others secret or lies But does it use the gift for good Or is it all just humorous lies
