Hi, ReaderOfSouls, About tying one down needing tending Or ride on pretending she's not there. How true of us all as we each face our own Shadow Demon.

ROS You know the shadow demon doesn't just affect cowboys.

There a demon carries his shadow Until a man becomes what he should Worth every second he's horseback Or lost in the dark shadows for good.
How this final stanza gives pause for thought ROS. Maybe that demon still carries my shadow, and I'll never become what I should. That is quite a scary thought.
On a more prosaic level - a great well structured poem.
