This probably isn’t too surprising to you But your shadow only gets bigger As the day goes on, But that doesn’t mean your brain does, or your skill, or the “coolness” of that outfit you’re wearing. Maybe you should train your body and your brain to be bigger, Rather than talking about it being so. How long will it take for you to realize That actions speak louder than words And your words aren’t worth saying Unless you got those actions to back them up? Maybe then… and only then Can your words be worth telling And your words be worth hearing But probably not… Because eventually your shadow will disappear As the day turns into night Sorry May 28, 2012

The title explains it. There isn't really any sort of person in mind while I wrote it, it was kind of just a thought I had so I went with it.
