Don’t look behind you, there is something there
Following you everywhere
It is silent as a snake
Watching every step you take
In the morning and at noon
It not going to leave you anytime soon
Like a dream in a meadow
Never fleeting your companion, the shadow
But don't forget your shadow's shadow
One day you might be the shadow's shadow's little shadow's shadow.

The author's comments:
I wrote this because I was thinking about little kids that follow you around all the time and look up to you, but it is easy to brush them aside like your shadow's shadow. Things change quickly. Maybe someday you will be the shadow's shadow.
