My Shadow follows me everywhere
He’s there in the dark and light
In the day, it’s easy to see my Shadow
As the sunshines he finds me
At night, it’s quite a different sight
Often I fear he may be lost
But that’s not so, for when the
Smallest ray of light appear,
As does my Shadow near
My Shadow follows me in every way
He does as I do, looks as I do
We are inseparable, Shadow and I
Even in the deepest and softest silence
Shadow speaks ever so lively
He breathes life in all that seem lifeless
My Shadow is important to me
Because he’s mine alone
None other would dare to compare
Shadow and I, on a journey to win
Through thick and thin
We’re determined to win ’cause
We’re survivors, we don’t give up.
We simply put up, at times
We shut up to get up, higher up.
Shadow ticks and tocks around me
Like the hand on a clock.
But through all the phases we,
Shadow and I look the same
Without ever looking into a mirror.
I see my constant reflexion
In my SHADOW!
