Shadows

How does one package oneself
To catch a passing eye?
precious minutes or even seconds
To stop him/her from passing you by
To better engagement.

I am who I am
Weak and strong
Sometimes right and sometimes wrong.
In search of my own holy grail
I�m loving and cruel fierce and frail�
A stereotype of the multitude.

Will you stop to look me over?
Pause and be bored to see your own reflection?
Will the spur of entertainment and newness
Force your hand to move on?
To sink yourself into the virtual abyss
Seeking better engagement.

I am not a film-a book �or a fairy tale
Meant to amuse or delight
I am who I am �cannot be what I am not
I offer no excuse no apologies
To gloss over who I am or who I cannot be.

I live in Sydney and would love to hear from budding writers in Sydney. To share and compare the magic of words and worlds.
