My Shadow

I've built so many walls to hide me
So many now, even I can't see
That shadow of me I was once protecting

Many years have passed for me now
Spit on, shoved, and kicked to the ground
Telling my shadow to not make a sound

I've spent my entire life believing
Manipulating, lying, and deceiving
Thinking this shadow deserved concealing

But what am I without my shadow?
I am empty now for he is all I know
That shadow surely deserved to grow

What am i? Nothing, as you can tell
Nothing more than a locomotor shell.
Endlessly wandering in my own personal hell
