Scared By My Own Shadow
I moved myself through the jungles alone
Singing and whistling disorderly tunes
I did not know someone was listening
Marking me as a leopard does to a prey
I listened to foxes haul in the distance
As leaves hugged themselves in love
But as I listened, he too listened closely
He wondered the silent night as I did
When I sat up, took off, he sat up and took off
With a stick in my hand, he too with a stick
Scared and worried, I jumped away and he did it
With courage, I shot into the distance like a deer
Little did know the wisdom of the stranger
On my heels he was and fell on me as I did
Scared by my own shadow, haunted by it
As fool, I was scared by my own shadow
