Here they stand
Portraits
Framed for a brief moment in time
Smiling
Laughing
Flying through life
On paper airplanes
Seeing only what few see
Secrets carrying them
From one port
To another
They wave from their paper boats
Flashing smiles
And cameras
Creating shadows that grows in darkness each day
Names adorn their bodies
Like badges of honor
Plastering their bodies
From breast to backside
Their former selves
Littering the carpets
While the world grasps
To get a taste of what they have
They surround everyone
But only see themselves
Failing to realize
From the shadows
We see everything
