The day started off,
Just has it has always been,
I could feel something,
That did'nt want to be seen,
I could feel someone behind me,
On the way home from school,
Everytime I nodded or moved it seemed to agree.

A new friend prehaps ,
Or a foe,
This is a shadow,
I have been told,
Some times its big,
bigger than ME,
Everytime I move,
I crane My neck to see.

So when the sun is out,
your shadow may be too,
but it doesn't shout,
Just silent,nothing.
Maybe my best friend,
Colourless,
Next time your out ,
Shadow.

I like this, but I think you could cut some of the lines - the last stanza, in particular - I would lose 'A magical being, maybe my best friend, colourless, but colourful in my mind' - says too much for me and a bit cliched - without these I think it would be a very nice piece.
