I Am Your Shadow Poem by Nana Sampson

i know how to tell
because i know you well
i know what the hell
to be under your spell


i know your greatest despair
and i know your deepest fear
because I've been through your darkest nightmare


we've gone a long mile
and it's been worthwhile
and I've always felt your smile

i know how you take your grounds
and I've seen you fight when it mounts
I've felt how you struggle with you doubts
and i know how you escape when it pounds

I've seen you rise
I've seen you fall
in all these times
with you through all

I'm better as a foe
than an angel you don't know
take me as your own
because I'm your shadow
