POEM: Shadow

I don't want you following me

but you're still there

you don't care

I don't want you imitating me

but you still do it

you don't care

you're just quite

when I say something

no sound

no expression

when I touch you

you're there

you don't touch me back

why?

you should touch me back

but you don't

are you shy?

but you still follow me

you still imitate me

you bother me

you're still there

you don't care

I think you just want to be like me

following me

imitating me

are they fun?
