Silhouette
May 4, 2023
This silhouette I always sat next to.
This silhouette I always shared with.
This silhouette I grew up with eventually became a burden.
Every time I looked at it it brought me sadness and frustration, despite it near never leaving my side.
I just wanted it to go away.
I’ve yelled, screamed, and cried for it to leave me alone.
I’ve done it so much that I didn’t realize who I was yelling at.
This silhouette has been with me from the very start.
This silhouette knows me inside and out.
Why am I yelling at it?
I finally opened my eyes and all I saw was a mirror.
“I don’t understand.” I thought.
”Where did it go?” I asked.
Something I wished then was something I know now, but I regret for never getting to know it.
My silhouette will never be understood by many, hell even I’m included, but I’m happy that I get to finally hold its hand.
My silhouette helped me look at a mirror differently.
My silhouette knows me inside and out.
My silhouette will forever be a part of me.
