I am a shadow
Thumped from the inner void
Shaken free
As crystallizations of thought

A reveled shadow
The quintessential
Labeler
Of everything that I am not

Please quell my urges
To stand in front of you
And break free
I was cast a lot, this life

Shadowed and binding
I am the underworld
You're finite
I feed 'pon your empty strife

When you’re feeling down
Just cast your eyes on me
I want you
To feel the pain of love

Shadows memories
They are the same to me
Please tell me
What you are dreaming of

I am the shadow?
You dripped a thought on me
I could die
That you still remain

How is it so fair
Passion is a failing
You should fall
As I, in the rain

Shadows dance at noon
Souls are mostly feeding
Could you tell
I want to taste

I’m not a shadow
I am only you
Fallen down
Ignored as waste

Shadow Shadow

I am tired

The anti-you

I aspired!

Shadow Shadow

I can’t die
until you do

Shadow Shadow

On that day
I will be you!

I like this one it was different

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.
