When They Visit, They Always Vanish
October 27, 2019
Funny how
How he came out
Out into this world alone
Where he needed anyone in the room
Sad how
How he wants out
Out of this world alone
Away from those nurturers
Who named him Nuisance
Happy how
How he got out
Into the universe
Called Mine
His own creation
Where his friends behave
And his family’s saved
From the depths
Of his cave
The hazed reality he left behind
Where his shell
Cracked and broken
Lies
All the people around his capsule sigh
About how their creation had already died
Funny how
How they never found
Even between the fine line
Of him being dazed
Watching them, not far away
His eyes glazed
Inside his little house of Mine

"When They Visit, They Always Vanish" can be interpreted as a poem where the protagonist is becoming conscious or aware of his own beliefs and needs, instead of mirroring the world's, or the environment he grows up in.
