• My Shadow


    Hugging my knees,
    Hiding my face.
    Depression falls over
    This lonely place.

    No one is here,
    No one is there,
    Except for my shadow,
    But it only stares.

    Only to talk
    To cause me depression,
    And ask me all these
    Unanswerable questions.

    Simple to most,
    But I will say “pass“,
    For answering a question,
    Would make my tears run fast.

    All her questions rejected.
    Time passed, night has begun
    Copying my feelings,
    Her tears begin to run

    She calls me horrible,
    Because of my inward emotions.
    The wind begins to dance,
    Blowing my tears in swirling motion

    Crying she leaves me,
    Leaves ME to cry.
    Not bidding farewell,
    Nor saying good bye

    Now that she’s gone,
    I’m free to snivel
    But when she returns
    I’ll cease my tears for they‘re uncivil
