My shadow speaks in prose's tall, Of where it's been and the things it saw. Of mountain peaks and valleys long, My shadow could write a travel blog. I alas can't say the same, Though I've visited all the places same. My worries and my fearful heart, Couldn't quite fathom this extricate art. A prisoner of my shouting mind, The words aren't silent, the fear divine. An orange jumpsuit, is what I've adorned, All my life without a single cloth on. Locks and chains are lighter still, Than the shakles of this panicked ***** I'd trade my mind, I'd give it up, I'd make it silent with that powdery white stuff. I crave for silence in a quite room, A moment of peace, some quietude. I wish to travel like my shadow does, Living and experiencing, not a reflective stop.

My Shadow and I
My shadow speaks in prose's tall, Of where it's been and the things it saw. Of mountain peaks and valleys long, My shadow could write a travel blog. I alas can't say the same, Though I've visited all the places same. My worries and my fearful heart, Couldn't quite fathom this extricate art. A prisoner of my shouting mind, The words aren't silent, the fear divine. An orange jumpsuit, is what I've adorned, All my life without a single cloth on. Locks and chains are lighter still, Than the shakles of this panicked ***** I'd trade my mind, I'd give it up, I'd make it silent with that powdery white stuff. I crave for silence in a quite room, A moment of peace, some quietude. I wish to travel like my shadow does, Living and experiencing, not a reflective stop.
