Shadows
Everyone owns a shadow,
But some are bigger than others.
Those who are well known, popular, famous;
The actors, TV hosts, pro superstars,
Whose big names produce even bigger shadows.
Where would the actors or superstars be without their weight trainers or directors?
What would the TV hosts look like without their hairstylists or tailors?
Their shadows are the ones
Who deserve the spotlight
Those who have guided them, nourished them,
So that they may blossom.
Instead of themselves
We need to appreciate and learn
From the ones
Who deserve the spotlight.
We can achieve anything if no one cares
Who gets the credit,
And the shadows can be in the spotlight
for once.
