Do not befriend me. I am not as perfect as my sister.

I am a shadow of her that disappears during the daylight.

She is a bright, famous model that wears nice outfits and gets printed onto stylish magazine covers.

I'm a sentence on her Wikipedia page.

Am I perfect enough for you? Talented enough for you? I know I'm not, don't try to be nice to me. Do you believe I can bless you like my sister does to anyone who lays their eyes on her? 

I can not.

I'm a person who doesn't own a soul. I'm a person that is well-known as the shadow. 

I'm Harper, and she's Hailey, the girl of daylight, shining brightly as people walk. I am the darkness, quiet.

And no one sees me, for they have all gone to sleep, dreaming that they will see sunlight once again.
