Shadow

Have you walked in the shadows

of the girls who walked before

stood your own ground

whilst they hustle at your door?

have you heard the endless rave reviews

of everything they've done

so turned your own petals

to catch a little bit more sun?

Have you thought about your offering

wondered, what on earth it is that shines

feeling like your average rock

less so the diamond in the mines?

But let me tell you this dear soul

- and listen to me well

for you're enchanting of your own my dear

and weave your own enthralling spell.
