Shadows

When I walk in the cold alone
Dark shadows surround me
They keep me warm
They give me company

I ask them about life
But they never answer
I still want to talk to them
And I walk slower

When I go to bed alone
Dark shadows keep me awake
They still don't answer me
And yet I feel no hate

When I wish to be alone
The shadows take me away
When I wish to be gone
They are my escape

And yet sometimes they scare me
When the shadows become insecurities
Their implications are disturbing
They always shatter my beliefs

But when I feel euphoric
The shadows rejoice with me
They have no face, no body
And yet they smile at me

Somehow they never leave my side
They have always been there for me
Still I find it hard to believe
I am the shadows and the shadows are me
