the shadow

there is a shadow that follows me every single place i go
it follows me with every single person i walk with,
with every single friend i spend time with,
with every single step i take
there is a shadow that weighs me down heavily
it makes my steps in this life that much harder,
it makes me fall out of breath sometimes
makes me drop to my knees sometimes
there is a shadow that holds me down on the ground
it smothers me and tries to do me in
it tries to get into my mind and stop me from thinking
stop me from being positive and feeling good
there is a shadow that follows me every where i go
there is a shadow, a shadow
that shadow.
soon i will break free from it or it will consume me
