Present but unseen

To be present without being present. Being the shadow of yourself. Put the sun behind you. 7 o'clock or 5 o'clock position, depending it's rise or fall. You're longer than your actual length. Stretched and slim. Sharp outlined. Spread your arms out wide. You could be a star. A model. A news announcer. On the cover of a cosmetics magazine along side Haruka Ayase. 
Now see your shadow on a crowded street. It runs into and connects with other shadows. It silently joins and effortlessly detaches. Blackened endless figures and outlines abruptly disrupted by light. It's the stars that no one sees in the day light. A blanket of shinning lights. Unknown to all those who trot daily. Didn't they ever know they were walking on an ocean of stars?   
I want to be bright, but unseen. I want to be an unnoticed sparkle. I want to be black. I bought and wore only dark colors. Navy blue, black, and dark grey. My favorite color was red but I owned nothing of the type. I want to be the shadow of myself. I ran daily. Worked out hard. My clothes were slim enough to not be tight, but show an uninterrupted outline of me. My muscles ached every day due to keeping an optimal posture. To be as tall as I can be. I became the shadow of me. 
No one noticed me in a meeting. No one noticed me on a crowded street. I naturally navigated in and out of herds of people without a touch. Sometimes their head would slightly move to look back at what they just passed, but then they gave up and continued forward. I would speak up when called for at a meeting. The people next to me jerked in surprise to find me standing next to them. I predicted what would be ask of me and scripted my response. It was clean, sharp, and informative. No strong or wasteful adjectives. Being precise in an answer satisfies the listener and they move on to the next subject. My outlines were sharp. My color remained black. As a shadow, I look back at myself against the sky. My head never seems to stop reaching the heavens. Ah, I'm wearing navy blue and black again. That's what I'm talking about. Don't stand out. Be present without being present.
