Stepping back

It has come to my attention that some people are threatened by my presence.

Well, I am present. I am not invisible nor am I mute. I will be seen and heard. Deal with it.

If it helps you feel more secure, throw me an anchor so that i will sink and you can shine.

It's not like I'm ambitious. I don't want a pedestal nor do I want fame or glory.

You can have all the limelight, even the responsibility.

I will step back and not get in your way. But I will be unhappy.

Leave me alone.
