My Shadow
When I move my shadow moves
Everything I do, my shadow does too
It shows what others may not be able to see
Someone who I think is longing to be free
My shadow follows be wherever I may go
It shows the darker side of someone I may not want to know
As my mind flows my shadow does the same
It knows how to play every single game
I don’t know how my shadow came to be
But there’s an idea that just might help me
Science says a shadow is a reflection from the sun
As the light hits you it shows the world what you have done
My shadow can also play the part as my best friend
But even then it can still leave me
when the day has come to an end.
My shadow also has a way of telling a tall tale
Even though its probably the only thing on this earth that’s not for sale
I’ve always wondered what purpose a shadow really has in life
As its main purpose brings creative minds together and imagination takes its flight
My shadow has a way of sinking into my mind
As it is always by my side
I think of how my shadow would act if it were bought to life and made real
Would it have my personality and feel exactly how I feel
Would it still follow me where ever I may go?
Or would it turn into somebody I barely know?
Would we be friends and live together as one
Or would we separate and would it stop copying everything I’ve done
Would it have my voice, speak the way I do
Or will I be the only one who could see it and not you
If there was a way to bring my shadow out into this world
I still wonder would I be the very same girl
As simple as my shadow may be
I still believe it has a deeper meaning…..someone longing to be free
