Shadow

My shadow
you play by my side
when I dance, you dance
when I clap, you clap too
but why wont you sing like I do
so that I echo your song into mine

My shadow
you walk by my side
when I sit, you sit
When I stand, you stand too
but why wont you cry like I do
so that I can hold you in my arms

My shadow
you rest by my side
when I squat, you squat
when I sleep, you sleep too
but why wont you laugh like I do
so that I can sway in your joy
