Walking in the Shadow

The moment you wake up you are faced with decisions,
Whether to stick to your routine or break the beaten path,
Decisions that come easy and others that result in collisions,
Most do not realize cause/effect or add up to the math,
How your life is lived is made by the right and wrong,
Showing jealously for those who walk with fame,
Causing yourself to question why you haven’t followed along ,
Your in control of the cards to win or lose the game, ,
The battle of life, the struggles of imperfection,
Bringing about the way of the world that is always changing,
Adjusting to the highs and lows that point the new direction,
Juggling what life throws at you by constantly arranging,
The past is meant for reminiscing and reflecting,
Symbolizing your shadow that has never missed your next footprint,
But what most don’t realize is who your affecting,
Building upon your past mistakes from subtle hints,
The simple fact that we don’t understand our shadow and what it represents,
The idea of your footprints changing others,
From wrong decisions, glory and sharing what you present,
Makes you hold close your family of brothers,
The idea of being labeled, looked at and unlovable,
Is like being claustrophobic and ready to burst,
There are some who have made mistakes that are unforgivable,
Because of this, their shadow walks first...
