Tirupathi Chandrupatla - Shadow Chase

My shadow
Follows me
Wherever
I go.

At times
I seem to
Follow my
Own shadow.

Other times
My shadow
Remains
On my side.

It all depends
On where
The source
Of light is.

Sun, moon
Or a lamp
Each casts
A distinct shadow.

I feel relieved
When my shadow
Vanishes in
Total darkness.

Uncomfortable
I feel when I'm
Forced to chase
My own shadow.
