Shadow Poem by Ifeoluwa Philips

Why are you a shadow
Loitering by side hallowed
Shading thyself in light
And running amidst of dark
All I know of you
Is thy flexibility
Flexibility to be a far of my running
Flexibility to be my running partner
Starting a race together
You have a tendency of winning
Cos you are the dark being
Using the motion of a real being
You are made of voiceless
Act in lawlessness
You are dark
But only walk in light
You are the expression of life
That tells life is unreal
You are voiceless friend
That stay in light and leave in the dark
Madness of heart
And craziness of mind
It is, when chasing the shadow
It is the illuminator
Of dark hour deeds
It is the witnesses
Of bright hour deeds
You are me
I am you
While I'm running
You are as well running
Whatever I do
Clockwise you go
So, it is heart craziness
And mind madness
To be chasing the shadow
