I'll keep my face covered
For, if it scares you
I'll hide myself in the cupboard
As my presence haunts you

You ignore me completely
As if, I am never there
And wonder aimlessly
Gazing blankly with a stare

I am you, whom you've forgotten
Your own shadow, your mystical reflection
Not a face with freckle scales or rotten
Why you, do not see? why a rejection?

You are beautiful, like a shining jade
Sparkling your surround everyday
With rare herbs you are made
Why do you not see yourself, this way?

Look down in a pool of water
See your reflection posing
Your seen self looks hotter
You are winning not losing

Don't be afraid as this syndrome will pass by
Just stay focussed and look around
You are lovely yet too shy
See, that's your shadow on the ground...
