My shadow my one companion
I walk this world with many things thoughts ,ideas ,dreams ,but the one thing that is constant is MY shadow a mirror of myself in a sense. It follows me monitoring what I am up to ,what I do from day to day even now it looms beside me. My SHADOW reminds me of my failures. The idea that it holds all my secrets ,flaws ,my greedy aspirations. My shadow follows me like anyone else's ,but why do I make this shadow out to be evil when there is no logical proof it HOLDS such things. Merely the fact I choose to believe it ,brainwashing myself into believing false ideations. It’s funny when you look at it from someone else's perspective. I see such evil in unusual simple things maybe it is a sign of madness ,insanity ,or maybe something greater I don't understand. In any fashion I still look at this shadow ,this companion, with me through thick and thin as he follows me watching gathering my dark thoughts and reality which surround me.

Someone once asked me to describe my shadow once I talked about how although it may look like me ,and dress like it ,it’s not me. The face is void of MANY things no eyes, no ears, no nose, no smile. Some people say that's a very scary thing yet when I look at my shadow that's what I see staring back at me. Its doesn't scare me perhaps my senses dulled to seeing it so much ,but its a very strange thing to think about, to ponder. I been told my views are sad ,gloomy ,dark ,maybe even TWISTED for how my shadow seems ,but life is merely about perception and the way I perceive it is very different from others. My opinions, my thoughts have lead me to isolate more maybe thats why I look at my shadow in such a dark way. The matter is though these TRUTHS I hold to be real in my distortion of reality are something that cause problems. These problems I am still working on to reform and reshape into something better something perhaps more peaceful more serene. Change however is a very slow process for those who know...
