I’m A Shadow

Eyes of a rainforest,

Set in soft skin like cream,

My hair falls around my face like autumn.

I’m tempted to connect the dots

That freckle my face.

–

But I know better.

–

This is not me,

But a mere shadow

Of what I will be.

–

This is just a seed,

And when I’m laid to rest,

I will grow into my self,

My perfect self.

–

Until then,

This page shall remain blank.
