A silhouette
is what I am
of the person
I am always
so close of
a few short steps
away.
I am happy
nonetheless
but it often
depresses me.
I often sit
in silence
wondering where
I will go
but I'll never know
because my past
is the largest
part of me
and I don't know
if I am willing
to let it go
beyond the reaches
of these hands
and regret laced tears
But if I really
am so close
I wonder if I
could just reach out
and step into those
new shoes.
I have all of my
qualifying qualities
but I can't let
the past go
because I am
an empty shell
of a person
that ceases
to exist
as of late
and as of
yet.
I
Am
A
Silhouette
