That Shadow...

I can face dragons
And ravenous bears
One-eyed cyborgs
And tigers, and snipes
I can face Cheshire cats
Big Bandersnatches
Cobras and quicksand
And Jabba the Hutts
I can face hurricanes
Starship explosions
Mudslides and missiles
And even King Kong
But I cannot outrun
Nor outwit nor overcome
That shadow that
Follows me ‘round.
