I am a shadow,
Nothing more,
And nothing less.

I follow my host like a slave,
Where he goes I go,
And what he does I mimic.

I am a shadow,
And I must obey,
No matter what I think.

My host is like a parasite,
Controlling my every move,
And I am helpless for I am just a shadow.

I will never live to the fullest,
I will never be what I want to be,
And I will never be free,

For I am just a shadow.
When my mind wanders....
