Guess What I Am #4 -- SBD goes to winner

I have watched you for ages. A prowler in the night. Sometimes you see me, sometimes not, but I ALWAYS see you. I take cover when I can, but it is not always possible. I am just not positioned well enough to do it every time. So I make due. And honestly, sometimes I'm just out there, for everyone to see, and I'm not shy about it. But I keep myself at a distance, and play harmless, so you all think I am.

But I know what it feels like to be invaded. You did it to me once. And I know you'll do it again. It is only a matter of time. I guess it is not the end of the world. I can recover...But I was left with a scar on my face last time. I am forever changed and will live out the rest of my life looking like this. Who is to say what is to become of my future. It hangs in the balance, which is partly why I watch you. It helps me feel like I have dominion over you, as opposed to the other way around.

Some think I am beautiful, others take me for granted, others don't notice me at all, and still others are plotting to take over me someday. I hope their intentions do not alter me beyond recognition, or render me changed for the worse, or destroy me altogether.

I hope someday we can work together to make things happen for good. For the both of us. Until then, I will watch over you and anticipate your every move, in preparation for whatever comes.
