MY SHADOW

My shadow sticks to me
As it should.
But I wish it could be free,
So I could play with it.
I would be like Peter Pan,
Chasing his shadow across Neverland.
Maybe then I wouldn’t be this bored,
Alone with no one to have fun with,
Alone no one to talk with.
Sometimes my shadow disappears too,
Off to where? I have no clue.
My shadow and I have a bond,
That it responds,
To every action I do.
I want my shadow to come alive,
We can play, she can run and hide.
In the end, this is just a fantasy,
My shadow is just always gonna be a part of me.
