Shadows
A shadow,a darkness
engulfing my past, or my future
Changing as time changes
A silent stalker following me in the day, A leader
never straying from the seemingly never ending
path of life I have
Myself following
it runs as I run, stops when I stop
a darkness
not of the night, but of the day
a shadow
Creeping along the walls
not mine, but the shadows of objects
because the world is just a box of shadows
because what is a shadow? but darkness
a back and forth of greys and blacks
that are always somewhere
because when light is gone from one area
it just gets darker, not moved by the wind
but by the light
Shadows
