Poem: Grey Shadow
By Abby Weyr, 30 October 2023
All I wanted to be was a grey shadow.
Fly under the radar.
Quietly go about my job.
No notice
Little responsibility.
A simple worker bee,
Not management.
Have time and energy for things
Outside of job.
No one to miss me when dead.
Miss no one when they leave
No one stays.
But it is what I want
Just a simple grey shadow.
It keeps me safe
No connections.
No feelings to hurt.
No feelings of love or joy.
Just flat and safe.
Better than up down inside out feelings
Less confusing.
Simple grey shadow is
Safe and known.
I’ve been successful,
That is all I am a grey shadow.
