I walked alone.
My only companion,a shadow.
A shadow I was not sure belonged to me,
So unfamiliar this shadow was.
And yet ,this shadow was my only friend.
This shadow seemed cold at times.
As if it resented this lonely walk.
I was not sure I disagreed.
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Very shadowy one, hehe!
Nice form, reflective and something we all feel at times. I do wonder about one line though, “so unfamiliarthis shadow is” I think it should be so familiar to my way of thinking, having seen it many times in my life. Up to you though! Thanks for sharing.

To your wondering...
Sometimes I feel as if I don’t know myself.Those times when your confused about who you are and want to be.That is why unfamiliar is used.
Thanks for the comment.

Yes the structure works with the Theme
a stretching shadow. I do enjoy personification.

I like this lonely walk with shadow friend.
A part of you seems to want something different than what you have already. lol
