The Evil Shadow

It follows me where ever I go

Like a shadow on the street

While telling all of my secrets

To everyone I meet

I try to hide my face from him

While pretending he's not real

It's him that I'm ashamed of

But something, I can't conceal

Why does he have to follow me,

This demon I try to forget?

He mocks me when he shows his face

His teeth are filled with regret

He waits until my soul is weak

Walking close behind

Then devours the person I am

Starting with my mind

He knows you too, this evil one

It's a shadow, we all cast

He tells our secrets to one and all

This demon, we call our past
