Shadow

Rendering thoughts and ideologies
There is a soul out there
Black figure with a heart of colors
It's presence can be felt everywhere 
Colliding with someone familiar 
And then coming out like a phoenix 
She has witnessed all sort of mindsets 
Drawing it from her left hand.. 
It reminds me and you of our existence 
Falls behind to show support 
Stands in front to lead the way
It has a lot to say, just no voice
Depends on the ear if it wanna hear
It's the most beautiful thing on earth 
If you look it from your own eyes
Confident and brave that's her gear
Teaching how to survive
You can paint it in your way
That’s the flexibility it has
It's your shadow I am talking about 
marking our identity and beauty 
May not be visible 
But serve as the friend we crave.
