Friends Shadow
Friends Shadow
Friends in the dark and unaware of your life are friends that shadow you,
they only see you as a 2D dark object,
someone they look down not perfect
they talk behind your back and not to your face
they only need you on your sunny days
desert you when the sun goes away
you only see them if you make the effort to turn around,
when they still move forward and you have to back track,
There when you're standing and gone when you're down,
you'll protect them and they'll be protected
and they will blame you for being in their way
You'll hide them for them to hide from you.
And they confuse shadows in stories as you,
blind to your anger blind when you're blue
they won't talk face to face to find the real you
because it's your shadow they value
and what it does for them
YOU DON'T MATTER UNLESS THEY NEED YOU.
yet somehow they leave you in the dark, and they won't be concerned with shinning a light on you
