Do not be afraid,
For we are the same.
I am your reflection without a mirror.
No matter how hard you try,
You are stuck to me.
I cannot be traded for any other.
My shape may change,
But I will always be the same silhouette.
At night, when I’m invisible,
I leave to live my own life.
Occasionally you’ll see me
In the light shining through your bedroom window,
While you lie awake.
In your world, I may just be your shadow,
But in my world, you are my puppet.
