Shadows

What shadows could really symbolize.

Oh, hello there.
I thought you might
just be here.

You can start
behind me.
You follow me.

Now you are
next to me.
Let's chat awhile.

Hmm.
You don't talk
much.

Now you are
in front of me.
I am not your puppet.

Or am I?

I do everything
you do.
But you do everything I do.

Do not pretend to
be my best friend.
You are not.

Do not walk with me
like you are some kind
of assistant.

You are the darkness
that follows me
everywhere I go.

You are sometimes
taller and more
intimidating.

You are not me.
You are but a dark
silhouette.

You are not me.

Or are you?
