Shadows

[vwfbug]

Here I am surrounded by people,
Yet I am a shadow in the crowd.
Insignificant and alone to them,
But given a burden, a curse, I must endure.
They don't know me and don't even care,
But I still look upon them in love and compassion.
Alone in this crowd of others,
Most not even old enough to understand,
That pain is a curse but also a gift.
A gift to help others who go through it to.
In order for it to be a gift, you must use it wisely.
Otherwise it will be a curse,
To make you miserable till your death,
Which could come quicker than you think.
So remember the words of an insignificant shadow,
Alone in this world.
Who watches and listens to everyone in the crowd.
"There are others like you and others like me,
Just look around and you will see,
Everyone is a shadow, alone, and in need.
But look around and care for each one,
and be a gift to this world of Shadows."
