Silhouette

My shadow keeps me company
I’m friendly with the shade
It will never abandon me
Or let me be afraid

It conceals my feelings
And always lets me hide
Keeping in the thoughts
So nothing leaks outside

You might find it cold
The way I blankly stare
But I’m working through emotions
When it looks like I don’t care

If I get overwhelmed
I cast a safety net
And I fall with faith
In to the arms of my silhouette
