Shadows are everywhere
It is hard to escape them
Shadows in the darkness of a room
Which scare you in your dreams
Shadows created by light
Which help make shadow pictures
And put a smile on your face
These are welcome shadows
But, the haunting shadows, it is unwelcome
It follow you around day and night
It is there in the dark playing on the mind
And making it hard to breathe
You wake up in the morning, a new day
Hoping the shadow will not haunt you
But there is is, every minute, every hour
With no intention of leaving you
