"Safe in the Shadows"

They notice my presence--
But they don't miss my absence.

I pop up so quickly,
And I disappear just as fast.
I constantly keep people guessing--
About how long I will last.
That's why I reject popularity--
It's just a thing of the past.

One minute you're popular,
And then the next you're not.
One minute you're famous,
And then you're soon to be forgot.
And yet everyone is dying--
To be in that number one spot.

But I'll stick to the shadows--
It's my favorite place.
I don't mind being unrecognized,
Or having a forgettable face.
All I need is my family--
And my friends in this case.

I'm not dying to be popular--
I like my time and my space.
