Shadow

Lonely clouds surround my blurred image
When I turn I have nothing but my shadow

It forces me to look at what I am, what I have become
It makes me see what I have changed into

There is something about what I am now that I can't figure out
There is something hiding from me in a dark spot

There are pieces that were lost in my reassembling
There are gaps that hold unmeasurable depth

There is something that has been added to my shadow
It is so unnoticeable and yet it is something so great

It has become a part of me and it doesn't belong
It has replaced what I have lost

I still have a hollow empty feeling even though it is filled
I still long for something that will never be regained

Though I try to follow my shadow, it leads me nowhere
It shows me nothing that is of any use to me

My shadow holds a mystery that involves every part of me
My shadow is hiding something from me, betraying me

I loathe the feeling of being left alone, uninformed
And yet a part of me is what's doing this to me

The mystery is yet to be figured out, solved in any way
My shadow is no longer on my side, it is no longer me

I have seen that I am not me, I will never be me
My shadow has been changed into an image permanently

This image is unknown, frightening, a nightmare
And I am looking at my shadow, my silhouette

I am my nightmare and I have a fear of me?
No... A fear of what I have become

My shadow is everything I am and is me
But when I see it, I don't see me

I see what I never wanted to become
I see the empty shell that was nothing to me before

Now it is everything, it is me
But I still don't feel me in myself
