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…….. 10/2/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019© Written for Project North Omaha Writers Group (NOW) assignment Poetry: Assignment Shadow Character Being
