My shadow is mean

Things build up beyond containment

My shadow is in my dreams

They overflow out of control

That's why inside I often scream

Because my shadow... it's mean

Things add up to displacement

My shadow rings the bell

They pile high til I blow

That's why inside Ioften yell

Because my shadow....it can tell

Things grow alongside disgracement

My shadow it burns hotter

Most times I don't know

That's why inside I often ponder

Because my shadow....it's a monster

Thoughts brew within disagreements

My shadow is in command

And it continues to grow

Something I can't understand

My shadow....it has the upper hand

Peace and harmony are my combatants

My shadow is at its peak

And it is ready to blow

That's why I'm afraid to speak

My shadow....has made me very meek
