Only an ornament

Someone set along the path,
  hiding in the shadows.

Another scare,
  waiting to be noticed.

How could it be real,
   when everyone is having fun?

A bloodied hand,
  reaching for the light.

Only another ornament,
  part of the season?

there is a fine line between hiding in the shadows of life, and wanting to be noticed...there is almost a passive/aggressive feel to this...

Combination of the upcoming holiday, and reaching for help. Who will stop, and notice?
