Weaver of Shadows

How nice it is

 to have someone

 who says what

 I cannot

 who does that

 which is impossible

 when I tell him to

 who will be 

the person

 I am

 without anyone

 knowing that 

it’s me.

 Do people like him?

 They do,

 for in making him 

into me

 I’ve made him better

 than I could ever be.

 He’s saved lives

 fallen in love

 made friends fast 

ones who actually care.

 He’s become

 what I wish I was

 while still having

 the same problems

 and thoughts 

and feelings

 that I do.

And so if he’s struggling

 then how could I

 should I

 not?

 But he can talk

to people he loves

 and get help.

 I can’t

 I’m too afraid

 so he does it for me

 but,

 I’ve made him too well

he seems his own person

 or no one actually knows me

 because they suspect 

nothing, or so 

it seems

 to me.
