My Shadow

It has no color
Only slender and tall
No worries
Just slender yet tall
That's what I want
It's perfect in everyway
It's slender and tall
I lift up my shirt
All I see is thin
I turn to the side
My stomach is flat
I wish it were real
I was really that way
I would be happy
With being slender yet tall
It's only black
No colors to worry about
There is no face
No face to see
My hair looks perfect
It's not fizzy or flyaway
There is no color
Only slender and tall
