Myself

Most see me as a vibrant green
alive and bursting with ambitions
competitive and willing
my feet a treadmil that never stops moving.

Only some see me as shimmering silver
my accomplishments leave me self-conscious
and unaware
quiet and withdrawn
my mind reels ahead of others as my body
stays in the shadows.
