Shadows and Dust

The shadow another side of me, the reflection of your perception an incredible deception, visible in the dark like the moon I suppose What you oppose I compose Look at the mirror I see the same face But ponder on the reality To define my existence so unreal, and reveal an tainted soul I close my eyes And the sky starts drawing me away, I feel non existence with memories of yesterday, yesterday could tell a story of today to arch in such a way that fills the streets with silence The shadow like the art f deception is to look the same But not for all to share the blame Nor the fame See after birth comes death that is not a curse its just nature way to create a balance My shadow tells me you are not better that me just because you can afford to buy a steak And I can not its just vanity that makes you feel you have value more than me see if you can never be me you can never be better than me we all as filthy as dust from whence we came So when the present becomes the past and dust turns to dust like love and lust We All but shadows and dust' nobmath1601201:1320
