My Shadow Poem by Sadia Maqsood

When I walk along the empty paths,
Alone under the pale moonlight,
In the silence and darkness of the night,
And no one nearby is in sight,
Chases me someone huge and quiet,
It is my shadow which almost gives me fright;
Where ever I go, where ever I hide,
My shadow there spreads wide;
In the night or in the day,
My shadow can`t keep away;
Follows me and cheats me,
From this fellow, I can`t be free;
As I walk under the sunlight stains,
My shadow accompanies me in every lane
