My Lazy Shadow

MY LAZY SHADOW

It follows me, yet walks alone, 

A part of me I\'ve never know. 

It drifts through life without a care, 

No weight to feel, no cross to bear. 

 

It doesn\'t strive, it doesn\'t cry, 

Just lingers softly, passing by. 

While I must fight to find my way, 

It fades beneath the light of day. 

 

But still I sense it holds a truth-

A tired ghost of restless youth. 

Perhaps it know what I ignore, 

That rushing life won\'t make it more. 

 

So now I pause, and in its shade, 

I find the peace I Once betrayed

For even Shadow\'s, slow and still, 

Can teach a heart to bend it will.
