Shadow

being followed by someone, something
being wanted, needed to survive
but by what, I do not know
i can tell im being closely followed
but i have no one who would do so
i am alone and i am my own best friend
no one knows me and no one cares
i turn around to see that what is following
is the shadow of me.
