SHADOW NARRATOR- -
As I speak I am the darkness
Beneath the sheets
Of under your bed
And as you rise and turn on the lights
I am your shadow, which follows you
I am behind yet your spirit smiles
I am in front as you turn around
I am your follower, but yet not your comforter
When you’re outside under the sun
I am your darkness, behind you
I follow your every move
Yet you choose to deny me
I am behind yet your spirit smiles
As I speak I am the darkness
Beneath the lights and the sun and you
I am under your feet yet I’m behind and over you
I’m not a monster yet I’m apart of you
Through the lights you only see me, through
My skins always black,
Sometime you don’t know where I’m at
I am your shadow, which follows you
I am behind yet your spirit smiles
I am in front as you turn around
I am your follower, but yet not your comforter
As you stand in front and under the sun and lights
Lo!, I am shadow and I can be any gender
No matter your genre I’m yet behind you I am
Shadow……..
