Remembering Shadow Me
my former self lurks in the shadows
Watching others live the life I wanted
jealousy swirls into my head
hardening my heart
shadow me is angry most of the time
looking for the bad in people
perpetually finding it
proof the world is a scary place
my former self hides from the world
her talents are unshared
lying helplessly dormant and smelling
i do not evolve until I become a mother
