Disappearing Act
How do you hide in plain view?
what you haven't shown yourself?
the part that acts the drama
I do not wish to see
if I were invisible it
wouldn't make any difference
I see who I am
there are those who seem quite content
living life with one shadow
when the sun shifts
shadows dance across the stage
playing actors
who can tell the difference
when speaking written lines
when the play is finished
shadows disappear into sunlight
leaving me once again
hiding in plain view
