The One Not Sent Poem by Kriztan Rei Palces

I thank you for your endless efforts in making me laugh
i thank you for those shoulders where my crying stops
i thank you for the time you've wasted hearing my stories
and thank you for your name that's been written in the pages of my life's history


you may not see me from where you stand
for i am your knees forcing gravity to the land
i'll keep you sturdy as you stand your ground
and know this brotha', i'll always be around


when you're down, and loneliness is all you feel
just sit down, hug your knees, close your eyes and chill
do know that i am your shadow and in light i always follow
and in darkness, this shadow gets up and embraces its' fellow.
