No Focus To Face This
September 16, 2014
We are pixels on a screen
Undefined
Blurry
Hard to see
Impossible to touch
On the outside looking in
We are trapeze artists
Balancing on a silver thread thinner that trust
Woven from the web of deceit we cocoon ourselves in
They watch, and
Wait for us to fall
Except there’s no net
Only the arms of the few people who still believe.
We are in too deep
And the surface is nowhere in sight
But I feel you swimming beside me
And suddenly I don’t care if I drown.
