What Kind of Shadow Follows You?

With every step that one takes,

Their shadow follows closely behind.

 

What kind of shadow follows you?

 

The dooming question that no one ever asks, 

The fear that lingers in the forefront of one's mind,

The unknown that causes the fear to fester and grow.

 

What kind of shadow follows you?

 

You may ask anyone that question, 

The responses will always be the same, 

I don’t know but  surely I know it’s good.

 

What kind of shadow follows you?
 

If you ask me that question,

My response will be, 

The one you should be afraid of, 

Because I’m afraid of my own shadow.

 

Not because I don’t know what it is, 

Because I know the power that it holds.

I know the pain and terror that it can do.

For my soft heart will be my down fall, 

If I don’t own up to my own shadow.

 

What if I allow myself to finally let go?

 

If I allow myself to let go, 

Then the world around me burns,

If I let go

I will have nothing else to keep me grounded,

All that I loved will turn away from me.

Those who saw me as perfect,

Will hunt me down for what I’ve become.

They won’t see the realization of what’s happening, 

Until it's too late. 

Perhaps it’s best if I remain the way I am, 

The soft hearted fool.

The fool that will eventually turn,

Turn on those who loved me.

Then themselves will become nothing more than just another person, 

And I will mean nothing to them.
