Do you trust your shadow?
If you do...why?
From the cradle
To the Grave
It follows you
Doesn't help you
When you need help
Your shadow
Stands there
Looming over you
Watching
Listening
It's with you all your life
Until the day you die
You just accept
It's there
You just accept
It does nothing
But you let it
Into your life
Into your home
Into your family
You share with it
Everything
Your hopes and dreams
Your deepest, darkest secrets
Whether you want to or not
It knows when you mess up
It knows when you lie
Why do you trust it?
