In the softness of the morning dew
In the chirping of the birds a few
You walk along –nice and tall
Giving me a sense of life new
When the sun of my life shines brighter
Your baleful presence turns tighter
Increasing the proximity dangerously
And turning me into a helpless fighter
Your scornful feature abstract
Tries all its ways to distract
But I stand fearless
And my eyes refuse to contract
When I walk faster to catch up with life
You chase me steady soaring my fright
Throttling me into a grip tight
I wish for a soothing rain
I look for a dark cloud
I desire you to vanish
Miles away behind the unknown crowd
I know you are ambitious
But I am hopeful
I am helpless
But still soulful
You laugh at me with dreadful eyes
But I must tell without me you lose your guise
You are just a contour and I am real
You might do the alchemy
But I dwell
I am the greatness and you are my shadow
I am focused but you do so much ado
You show me the sad and lows
Welting me strange blows
You sneer and release the other side of the coin
But you often forget that if I leave the world
You will have no one to join
