Unprotected Shadow
When its yours you understand it follows
That its a sillouette n your the model
That depending on you it may fill the room
That even in light it may also seem gloom
What if it hovered and wasn't your truth
It weighed heavy although a hollow proof
Nomatter how you ran it overshadowed you
N when you looked behind it wasn't you
How do you escape what doesn't come from you
What your only able to see as a recognized bruise
That never goes away lingers like the breeze
Stings when you run like a bumble bee
When u try n try to see your light
But you realize it was never your fight
Just lived inside a bitter aloe
That became your uprotected shadow
