The Shadow That Lurks
January 22, 2024
I know I’m the youngest and the center of attention
But most of the time I’m not
I am a shadow on the wall, listening and hearing
Only missing me when I’m gone
I know I’m loud and an attention seeker
But most of the time I'm not
I am gum-stuck under a desk, observing and seeing
You only miss me when you are bored.
I know I'm rude and defensive
but most of the time I'm not
I am a rope constantly holding people up
You only miss me when I break
