Dear Everyone,
I am but a shadow of a person. I would say I have friends, but they aren't mine. They are someone's friends and I am just a shadow. I am unnoticed and unheard. Whenever anyone looks at me, it is to see him. I have no unique shape because the world sees me as him. My own existence disappeared long ago, when he overtook my personality and then over shadowed it. I was left in the dark so long, I became that shadow. Now that I know where I am, it is too late. I am trapped in his shadow, cursed to live under him.
However, I am not a shadow.  You shall not have me this time Peter Pan, for I am never returning to you. I refuse to be attached to you. Though I may be a shadow, I will not be looked down on. Though I may remind everyone of you, there will be no you to greet them. And from our separation, I will gain back my unique form. I will rise out of the darkness. I will no longer be your shadow. I will be me. For what I want most is to be seen as me, not you.

Sincerely,
A Shadow of a Person
