You are my constant company
a perfect reflection of my being
as you mimic me in all my actions
cast as extended shadow of myself
You hide when the sun is on my head
as if to disappear leaving me on my own
it is when I almost forget where I stand
with none around when times are rough
Yet when the sun begins to hide its light
and life seems hopeless for me to tackle
I soon realized that you are at my back
to remind me that I still have the chance
With you beside and around me
I feel that I am still much alive
to face challenges in this life
if you're gone I'm so dead
