The shadow of me
keeps on haunting me
following every step I take
every mistake lingers behind me
taunting me with a dark overcast –
of innocence lost
of heartache endured
of pain to come.
The shadow of me
my only companion
in my world of solitude
is a constant reminder
of my past
and
a constant foreshadowing
of my future.
– Nikki Leibbrandt (2019)
