    But a Shadow

    To me I am but a shadow
    Standing in the background never changing
    Waiting for my time to go by
    A form of shapless emotions
    But I am but a shadow
    Of outstanding character as well

    For I am not but a shadow
    Just standing in the background
    For I am more than that
    But instead I am the shadows self
    I make the shadow
    What it is today as a heart

    I have been like a shadow
    In the back of the crowd doing my thing
    I am also like a shadow
    As a follower of others when need be
    I am a shadow when it comes to
    Acting out accordingly the way that I need to be

    But I must say this one thing
    Unlike a shadow,
    I have the spirit just like a
    Great and powerful warrior
    With the heart of a lion and
    The sincerity of a king

    well written a portrayal of someone who tends to stay in the background not causing conflict or being noticed. Some days we all wish to be that shadow.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
