Our shadow,
has a motto that we all can borrow.
Our shadow,
is never shallow, even when we are hollow.
Our shadow,
is not distressed by the stress caused by a mistress.
Our shadow,
never bothers an iota, though we drive a Toyota.
Our shadow,
will not yearn, for the money we earn.
Our shadow,
will not budge, when we hold someone a grudge.
Our shadow,
has no worry, when we grow weary.
Our shadow,
stays projected, though we are rejected.
Our shadow,
will not weep, for the wishes we seek within worship.
Our shadow,
is not feared, even when our eyes are teared.
Our shadow,
grows stronger, when the light hits our eyes the harder.
Our shadow,
walks with us, even when no one else chooses us.
Our shadow,
takes no offense, for the sins we always defend.
Our shadow,
is never darker, than the thoughts we always harbor.
Our shadow,
needs no proofs, for it lives within the truths.

This works in metaphor for the shadow is us an image painted in the absence of light. A slave to our every action. Nicely projected here.
