throwing shade in poetry

you all stand in the shadow of great
men and great women who’ve passed yes
but not famous folk you’ll never know
not giants granting autographs at best
you rather stand inside the shadows of
all the loved ones who have shaped you
but the reason their shadows are so deep
but the reason their shadows are so vast
is because your own light’s so brilliant
there isn’t shade without light to throw
your shining is what has made it so
