My Strength
My Strength
I walk behind you
A shadow of yours
Putting my feet on your footsteps
Making imprints in sand
You look back to see
With unseeing eyes
And roll them as I smile
"Don't do that" you scold
Offering me your hand
"I want you to walk beside
Don't be my shadow
But my strength
Not an image of my footprints
But my muse
I want you beside me
Not at the back
I want you to know
I am because you are"
