What Am I?

Will you see me?

Can you hear?

For centuries

Ive been here

I follow you

But you dont see

I wish you knew

What I could be

Youre afraid

Of my shadow

I start to fade

But hope to glow

You turn around

And stare blankly

To you Im bound

But you ask me

You follow light,

And bring your dark,

What are you,

To make this mark?

I look down

You turn away

Maybe I drowned

Or turned slate grey

Im the silence,

That haunts your back.

Im the virus,

Your mind attacks.

Im just a mirror,

Sad silhouette,

Shadow haunting

Disconnect

Looking up

You smile shy

See all corrupt

And say goodbye
