Life In a Shadow


All my life has been lived in a shadow. No one being able to see who I really am. I would step in front only to have man push me back. Nothing seem to be able to be done. The more I fought to get in front. The more man would push me back. Finally, I had my shot; no one could stop me now. The shadow was gone and down for the count. Man could not put the shadow back. I took my shot and away I ran. For once, I had the will to stand I took the shot and never looked back. I believed I would stand in front of the shadow for good And I did!
