Always with you, like your twin.

No matter who you are, and what is in you,

I will always stick to you like a glue.

I won’t show your past or future,

I don’t know your emotions or your passions,

I am as plain as a blank canvas, blind as a bat,

I’m simple and modest, straight as an arrow.

I am not like clockwork, always precise,

But I am an unknown second nature to you,

But one thing that I am sure of,

Is that I will always be with you.

Wherever you go, whatever you do,

I won’t share it, even if I knew.

Even if the sun explodes and the earth shakes,

The sea splits and the mountain breaks.

I will never leave you hanging, all alone,

From childhood, all the way you have grown.

I was always with you, treading all along,

I will support you, whether it is right or wrong.

Even if life throws challenges at you,

Hardship and misery take control of you,

I will always stay with you, forever,

As a true companion, in your endeavor.

I am your friend - the shadow.
