it's walking beside you
but comes from inside you
erasing the steps that you take
the darkness devised it
and darkness disguised it
it mimics the moves that you make
sometimes you'll find it
walking behind it
surely you'll know from it's shape
it's stalking behind you
if lost, it will find you
its presence you cannot escape
spawned by the night
hides from the light
its motives are not very clear
so often we shame him
we mock and we blame him
but is it our shadow we fear?
