In The Shadows

Hiding behind a shadow is part of life
looking for your life seems there
is a shadow following you every
step.You never know when your
shadow might need you or
when its following you although
sometimes shadows can be a
person. When you begin life you
have the shadows of parents
holding your hand and leading
you your way down every path.
When you become school age
not only parents become a shadow
you then have teachers teaching you
right from wrong. Then driving age
along comes cops in the shadows
giving you the path of driving the
right path. All grown up now and now
have a job your boss becomes your
shadow work hard kiss ass or lose
your job. Those that don't work and
that are married your spouse becomes
your shadow giving you the strength to
help you through every day and asking
and telling you what needs to be done.
For those that have kids your kids
become your shadow teaching you how to
laugh and have fun again enjoying life.
Then you are all alone with none your and
your shadow seems like your own shadow
is hunting you torching you. You just don't
see it although you hear the cries asking
you why? why did you have to kill me?
