I was always told to watch shadows
They hold more than secrets
If I’m not careful they will take me
You don’t notice it the first few times
But get caught a time too many
And you become the shadow
Watching and waiting to become human again
Oops late again lol. Well I should be getting on track.
Love the first two lines and the ‘set-up’ for the poem’s theme. Shadows being all-consuming – the personification of ‘shadows’.
Thank you!
