*An Old Friend*(un-edited)

Ever wonder
What it would be like
To be a shadow
Only seen it the light
And hardly ever noticed in the light
Forgotten and taken for granted
Forced by you every move
Stepped on
And overlooked
Bent by the ground
As it changes
Only 2 dimension
Of a 3 dimensional person
Wishing it could be more
Wishing it could jump
Wishing it could swim
Take a shower
Play with a ball
Sit with a friend
Be hugged by a loved one
Only a silhouette
As it gets older it starts to disappear
Gone from life
Forgotten from the fun times
We had as a child
Never look at a shadow
As just a shadow
But as a part of yourself
You pure form
Because it doesn’t project
Your logos
And you fancy boots
It projects you
Bent by your every move
It is what makes it
So
What would it be like
To be a shadow
To be loved for a while
For only being pure
Just to be forgotten
Well not my shadow
For my shadow is my friend
And will never be forgotten
