[with negative] the slightest trace of something
how weird they are.
following silently.
existing noiselessly.
before you realise it, they hang over you and you cant shake them off.
and you tell yourself to step out of them for you are aware of their detrimental effects should they be around long enough.
yet they remain; not enough to destroy you, just enough to cause major irritations and headaches.
i am not miserable where i am. nevertheless, i can definitely do without these shadows.
