I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like an insect. The metaphors of fading ('shadow at evening') and insignificance ('shaken off like an insect') suggest the speaker's sense of diminishment and powerlessness. The comparison to an insect indicates utter insignificance. This verse expresses the speaker's self-perceived worthlessness and marginality.
