Who will come and go with me?
Who will volunteer
To let me do the things I want to do?
Who will stop with me if I need to stop?
Who will go if I want to go?

Only my shadow.

I have always been the one
Who tagged along.
I helped others do the things they wanted to.
A few small things I did for me
In between
Things that seemed to mean a lot to them.

But now it's my turn to go,
To do, to be,
To show the world the me I know.
And now who will go
And be there for me?

Only my shadow,
And all my enemies,
Waiting for me to fall,
But I will show them all.

For it's my turn,
And I have earned the right
To do the things that I have in my heart,
Things that only I can know.
I'll share them with my shadow,
If no one else cares.
