I am a shadow

October 25, 2017

I am a shadow.

I wonder what its like to see the light.

I hear all your secrets,

I see all your flaws,

I want to help you,

I am a the hidden shadow.

I pretend not to be there.

I feel the same emotions you do.

I touch only the darkness,

I worry for all but can’t do anything.

I cry out of loneliness,

I am the poor shadow.

I understand I may never get my shot

to prove myself.

I say nothing yet,

I dream of everything.

I try not to be gloomy;

I hope I’m fun and that you’ll like me.

I am the hopeful shadow,

I am a shadow.
