Me and my Shadow

Just me and my Shadow
Walking
Like we do most everyday
Just me and my Shadow
Talking
But sometimes life
Gets in the way
And I can hear
My Shadow say

I’m a nothing
A no one
Just an empty
Waste of space
I’m never
“Enough” enough
A statue lacking grace

And when I walk
I walk alone
It’s in my chart
It’s in my tome
And when I talk
I talk alone
There’s no one here
No one home

Just me and my Shadow
Walking
Like we do most every day
Just me and my Shadow
Talking
But sometimes life
Gets in the way
And I can hear
My Shadow say

And I tell my shadow
SHUT UP!!!
