My shadow and I

My shadow and I

At life's crossroad

My shadow and I
still wander

on the nobility street;

- My shadow
My faithful follower

Even when the sun
shines down on me

You always stand by me,
you represent my dark side.

As a reminder of who I am
and what I can become. ...

If I change my direction
and walk on the Hedonism street

I will then become
the shadow of myself. ..

Using few words, you've relayed a mesmerizing story. As I read the last lines chills actually ran over my arms. This was literally awe inspiring and deserves a wide audience and much discussion.
