A Desperate Shadow

Sometimes words follow me

When I walk down a street

I feel like I'm behind someone

But nobody is there

Nobody to meet

I'm a tired, lonely shadow

Buffeted by strong winds

I have to stop myself

And look around

But, still nobody there

What's happening?

I want to be someone's shadow

But they all left me

The last two lines are sad but then almost all the words that are compelling and moving seem to be melancholic and lonely.Perhaps the lone reflections make for the best of words.

A plea to be recognised?

A poem of despair...new concept. I never thought of how lonely a shadow could be...with no one to follow. You provided an insight.
