I Got a Tattoo of This Poem. My Words

In this waking existence
Where I merely reside
I just exist
A shadow of light
Out of sight
Out of mind
That is the reality of my life
I merely exist
To be seen 
To be heard
To be silenced
I am all 
Yet I am nothing
I merely reside in this exitsence
With nothing to truly call my own
I am just myself
A shadow of light
