My sister is a very talented writer. I like to think I got my inspiration from her. She wrote this poem and I am posting it.

Nothing but a Shadow

I'm dead to the world…can't you see

I'm dead to the world… and all that surrounds me

I'm nothing but a shadow

That follows you around

I'm nothing but a shadow

That lingers on the ground

I'm only visible in the light

In the darkness you have no sight

In the light I am whole

But you cast me out

To the darkness and the cold

You left me there for the shadows to swallow me

You left me there so you could be free
