A Metaphor

A shadow am I?
Yes, I see that, too.
How I blend into the world,
As a shadow blends into the concrete.
How I can be found in the corners of my mind,
As a shadow is found in the corners of night.
How I must follow the ways of society,
As a shadow must follow the movements of its owner.
How I can disappear under the pressure of life,
As a shadow must disappear under the weight of light.
Yes, I see how that works.
A metaphor.
A shadow.
Me.

I've always loved metaphors so I wrote a poem to kind of describe one.
