(repost) shadow
I wish I was as pretty as my shadow
I wish I was as easy to hide
I wish it was easy to tell the truth
and harder to tell that I lied.

What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?

You have talent, it needs work but it is there. That is why I got so furious with you about the last poem of yours I commented on.
cheers,
