Hello there fellow poets,
My names is Shadow. I'm 18 years old and I love to write both poems and stories. My inspiration comes from my family my friends and my life. I've been through a lot in my life but I don't let it get to me anymore. Any way I hope you like my poems and the few snip-its of my stories that I put on here.

I saw you today...You walked right past me... I smiled. I wondered if you missed me.... Seeing the sad look on your face confirmed what I knew. You were still grieving over me. As you stop I walk up behind you and hold you close, whispering softly, 'It's okay to let me go. I know you miss me but it's time for me to leave this earth..I need to move on.'
