Not Naught

Know me not

Hear me not

Guess as to what I am

I am free as I am chained

Yet you know me so well

As I lie unexpressed

Take a guess

Who am I?

Where do I lie?

Shall you be fooled?

I am jeweled

Esteemed to be what I am naught

Dangers of distrust ever is it fraught

Be not with me

For I am not I

It is the shadow that I cast

That you see as I pass

Be not with me for I am not free

Ever burdened

Ever damned

Without you to see

What shall I be?

Are you familiar with the null hypothesis?

I'm probably just projecting that onto this but that's where reading it took me.
