Shadow
My shadow isn’t blue
My shadow isn’t pink
My shadow isn’t red
My shadow isn’t orange
My shadow isn’t yellow
My shadow isn’t green
My shadow isn’t purple
My shadow isn’t black
Nor is it white.
My shadow isn’t you
My shadow is me
My shadow is my eyes
My shadow is my voice
My shadow is my head
My shadow is nothing
My shadow is everything.
My shadow does not belong to you
My shadow is mine and only mine.
