The Shadow's life

[birgitta_nell@y]

The Shadow

Softly, silently,
I am a vague shadow;
The shadow that you do not notice.
Timidly I dance in the background
Behind the great people of this world,
Shy and hollow; an illusion.
With no form or identity I linger,
A distant and meaningless impression:
An insignificant tag-along
In a world ruled by the extraordinary.

You are won over by ideas of pessimism in point of fact and life is not flowing the way always as you put forth. This may be part of but not whole of your life.

Is the title "The Shadow's Life" or "The Shadow"? I think i prefer the first title. And i particularly like the last 2 lines.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments! The title is meant to be The Shadow's Life (I forgot to capalise the 'L' in the thread subject)...
