“If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” <br /> - Shirley Chisholm - <br /> This quote brings depth to the fact that not everything will turn out how you expect it, and sometimes when that happens, lying down isn't your only option, make yourself an opportunity instead of waiting for somebody to hand it to you, I think that really speaks to how I aspire to be ♥ ♥ ♥


My shadow wears

a mask of dark, covering my

bright,

       bright

                light

a chameleon cloak, I blend into a room

a soundproof vest to

cover my drumming heart

Her hair is like fire, but covered by an inky hat

see the bonfires set to burn trees of no use

put out with buckets of water

My shadow is a young girl, it's me

but it does not reflect the inside

the rays of the sun do not stretch far enough to reflect me

within a shadow
