A shadow is a second fiddle br and always feels inferior br it tries to reach the golden middle br of things in the interior br but is condemned to stay outside br can't mix it with the boys br can only come along to ride br like ragged children's toys. br A shadow has no real life br it is a saprophyte br though if you try to use a knife br cut loose this parasite br you'll find that no amount of prying br can kill this sad reflection br so now you know, there's no denying br you add to your collection br of fans and others who adore br your talent and your wit br a shadow sticks for evermore br it really is a zit br that needs supply from the outside br of nutrients to eat br it lives in layers of your hide br and draws your body heat br and when its life comes to an end br it shrivels up and dies br a shadow hovers to offend br and when rebuffed it cries br a zit is born with intellect br a shadow pretty dumb br the former would be a defect br the latter is a bum br who wants a handout from his host br that's why he never leaves br and clings to you just like a ghost br all shadows then are thieves. br A word of warning to you now br don't ever shadow-box br your shadow knows exactly how br he's agile as a fox br Then what, you ask is there to do br to make you shadow-free br you show him he has no IQ br and he will leave you be.
