Undisturbed by the shadow that follows me everywhere i go.
I got use to the idea of a best friend.
he never leave me alone in the dark or on days when the sun doesnt shine, a glimpse of him is always near.
It was more than i could say for some friends, which dissapear when the sun shines.

I became use to him he was unique and his whispers was clouded with hate and anger !
I understood him.He comforted me.
He kept me company.He
he gave me courage and when days were dark his presence seemed to be everywhere. I felt safe.I wasnt afraid.When the time came to fight i was filled with joy as i knew once again my friend would take charge and defeat any foe who would dare to face me.

I earned respect and i was able to feed! off the fear of others ,i learned to sense fear from others such a sensation it brought shivers to my spine .
A beast he was. a friend,indeed he was my shadow that followed me where i go.
