i saw you, shadowman
i'm afraid of who you are
the stronger part of who i am
but still not part of me

i fear failure, so that i fear motion
i stand on the brink of seeing myself
of fitting the pieces of myself back together
of finding myself more than i am

where i am has been my fortress
but i opened my eyes
and now i see a dark pit, a trap
and i don't want to stay here

shadowman, can you take me with you?
