In Your Shadow

Standing in your light i am always your shadow

i turn away from the light for the glare

then i raise my hand to my face

 

I move from you

but still known as your relative

so they assume 

 

i step with a pep in my walk

an twist with an arogence

 

but im you

everyone sees

i can never be my own person

 

it is late for "doing my own thing"

I have a lable

Im always qoinq to be in your shadow

This is amazing. Its sorrowful, but gentle in a way...I feel.

A few superficial corrections as far as spelling goes:
arogence -> arrogance
lable -> label
qoinq - going
Not that it is of much importance, it is the feeling in the poetry that matters :) But I just thought I would let you know. Anyway, well done!

It's hard enough to live in the light, even more when you aren't recognized as your own person.
