My Own Shadow Stalks Me

Submitted by juliar on Tue, 02/12/2013 - 1:46pm

Shadowing me

A small skinny teen

toes painted vibrant red

Hair sown to her head with a needle and thread

Eyes dart towards the pavement

Her feet demanding her brain enslavement

She stops when I stop

And talks when I talk

And even follows when I walk

But all though she stalks me

She can't and won't define me

Shes just what people like you see.

When I read this, it made me think of the raggedy Ann dolls that would always somehow appear in my house no matter how many times I get rid of it. Everywhere I turned it was there. I felt as though it was my shadow, always follwing my every footstep. Amazing read. Thanks for writing it. :D

Thank U
