Living in a Shadow

By: Jemima W

I'm living in a shadow

Of someone else's life

My own is too pathetic

To live in

So I pack my bags

And chose another world

I pick it out of a hat

And hope it's better then mine

I'm living in a shadow

Of someone else's life

My own is too pathetic

To live in

You won't notice

If I enter unnoticed

I will enter unnoticed

I'm like a ghost or a shadow

My shadow is only seen and known by me

You'll never know I'm there

I'm living in a shadow

Of someone else's life

My own is too pathetic

To live in

So why am I moving into a new world?

That's simple to say

I hate my own

There's no other way

I need to get out of it

And I'll take the freeway

I'm living in a shadow

Of someone else's life

My own is too pathetic

To live in
