A Shadow
Location
Hiding behind walls,
my only friend: the only one who does not see me
befriending the rocks and shriveled flower petals,
petrified to move by myself,
afraid of being left behind,
yearning for the space I wish I had,
but never wanting to be alone like so many people in the world
standing there waiting to be discovered by the only thing that makes me feel whole
I wish I could be someone else;
I do everything she ever wants,
yet still she never sees me for what I am.
never able to take a step for myself
easily forgotten
always in the dark
not ever seeing myself
never feeling loved back
dreading twilight's aproach
how lonely it would be to be me
