our shadows

We can't take our shadows away

We know it will stay behind

No matter how we think and do

The shadows will stay quiet

We can't make our shadows go

It is like a glue sticking us behind

With words we can't see or read

Maybe is this “only until the day we die”

We take it for granted

Our shadows walking behind

Maybe they will record what we do or say

A record of history we tend to forget

We have no say

About the shadows behind our backs

It is with us the day we were born

Until the day we leave this world
