Silhouette

A silhouette                                   
is what I am
of the person
I am always
so close of
a few short steps
away.
I am happy
nonetheless
but it often
depresses me.
I often sit
in silence
wondering where
I will go
but I'll never know
because my past
is the largest
part of me
and I don't know
if I am willing
to let it go
             beyond the reaches
                                      of these hands
                                                         and regret laced tears
