The prestige of my existence
Is entrenched in the relationships
in my life
And the memories they’ve helped
create
The one’s I’m happy it came by
Or the godawful I wish could be
long forgotten
But when my act brought out the
third-rated in you
It makes me question if I’m worthy
of you
Even though I consider myself to be
a shadow
The kind of person you see often
But have little or no knowledge of
For the goal, I can be a perfect
cast
An actor within and without
A part of me I often wonder of its
source
But cannot deny for it’s a hidden
strength
So, here’s my unreserved apology
For making you think of me as known
If I could write my future with ink
Be sure you’ll be on every page of
it
My time with you made me
realize
The worth of having someone, so
sincere and true
A package I consider myself not
worthy of
Because I’ll always be the acting
shadow
