Away from my Shadow

On my way back home

I played with my shadow

They were good old days of school

When our paths would diverge

And I was left alone.



I used to step on them

And step after step

It was one step farther

I used to turn my back

And found it still there

Like a true loyal friend.



Now I hate that shadow

It has grown young but more cunning

I try to get rid of it

But it is visible everywhere

I try to smash it

But it overshadows me

It haunts me like an evil spirit

Trespasses my privacy

Adding to my agonies

Smiling at my misfortunes

And my uncertain future.
