It’s  always with me 

It never leaves my side

Never in front but always behind 

My shadow follows me even when I hide

Throughout the day it follows me 

My only friend, as I walk the unknown 

My shadow follows me, so I know I’m never alone

When darkness comes my shadow doesn't leave

But instead becomes whole as it soaks into me

It gives me it's bravery when I am in need

My shadow is like a ghost 

That got stuck on the ground

Like another me that's always around

My shadow speaks to me 

Like voices in the wind

I couldn’t live without it 

My shadow is my friend 

It’s always with me

Even when I hide 

I hope it stays with me 

And never leaves my side
