The sound of silence brushing through the air

Only the footsteps of my hollow leg

A leg that is filled with nothing but isolation

A heart that stays deep in the lost

Forgotten and lonely 

Draping over happiness

No one’s compassion to keep me company

Only leaves falling off the bitter oak tree Fills the shallow sidewalk

No cars passing

Fire burned smoke in the wild Levitating above the dark malevolent road

The sharp pale sensation of loneliness that rises in my gut 

The only man I know Is the shadowing presence of my sundered soul

The glistening faint moonlight reflecting off of the only 

bit of hope and painful wonder I have in this world

Its hard to imagine how other people see my transparency 

They see right through my body

And blame me to have a selfish heart

No one acknowledges my fight to stay noticed in this vast world

Only the lack of confidence represents my personality 

Other people see me as the man who has already lost

If only they could see through their minds tricks and illusions

Finding the peaceful me

Where my heart and soul could finally agree on the good choices in life

They’re always debating my lifes choices

Not respecting who I am at heart

Like I even have one
