14 lines or more on one topic using imagery and only one concept with a view of the object.
It runs with you as you chase your friends
Or that person you like.
It rides behind you on your first date,
Or on the nights you feel sick.
It watches and waits for you after work
Watches you and your kids
Laughs when you laugh, cries
When you cry and smiles,
Even when you're feeling down.
It chases a child through the flowers,
Through the grass and dead leaves.
Watches a child, older now, walking
Down a dirt road towards a rickety yellow bus.
Your darkest shadow is always there for you.
