Revenge of the Shadow

You blossom in colours, I’m always black
You sparkle in the spotlight, I slink in shadows
You walk free, I’m tethered to you

I grow and shrink constantly
You stay the same, your infinitesimal change 
cannot keep pace with me

If you look down, you will find
your true self laid bare for all to see 
I’m the secret you hide
