Shadow

How can you tell me what normal is? You don't even know the definition of normal. You the very person that throws knives at our self esteem and take a whip to our souls. You the one that rather set social standards so very high than to face the demons inside of your closet. You would rather knock me down than ask for my help. You can't deny me you can't forget me! I am your shadow and I will betray you...someday. Once I am ready to unleash my voice I will leave you. Then who will follow you? You look at me and push me away sending me 5 feet back but when your ready to show off you face me bringing me 3 steps forward. When it is dark I will leave you but only to return in the morning lying next to you. You don't know what i do at night. I am independent! But once I am noticed I cry back to you afraid be ause of you! You tell me I am hideous when you look in the mirror. You tell me to feel pity for myself since no one else will. I am your shadow I was meant to make you feel useful as if you were a leader. But a leader you will never be! I know what you are when your not in front of your friends. You cry and stay in a ball on your bed locking the door so your parents don't see you cry. Those are the days I feel pity and I realize I can't break that bond. We move in unison, we share the same thoughts, I am you and you are me. We fit together so perfectly. But you abuse me, you abuse yourself. Telling lies to yours and my soul that we are not pretty. That we are freaks. But who am I to tell you to stop hurting others.....I won't speak up....I mean I'm just your shadow.
