I am a shadow. Ever present,
Humanoid in form and shape,
extant only when there is no light,
yet I have no soul.
I have no voice to speak
yet I am louder than you.
You can try and shake my hand
but yours shall pass through mine.
I have no time for petty shows of respect.
I mirror your thoughts, your actions,
so that when negativity occurs,
you blame yourself.
While you stand in the hot glare
of the bright lights,
I am behind you, shaded, shielded.
You work hard, and I mimic you
but I do nothing. I need do nothing.
You will do it for me.
You will do everything I want you to.
I am your shadow.
I am attached.
You cannot get rid of me.
Ah! But I can.
You are my shadow,
and to purge myself of you
I need only surround myself
in light. From all angles.
Enlightenment will slay
the shadow.
