Ghosts Ii
Why can no one hear me.
I'm left out in the cold.
Am I even seen?
Or am I but a lonely soul
I scream & plead for help
But still noone responds.
I swear to ing, god
I don't what did so wrong.
I shout amongst a crowd
But noone even turns their head.
I'd be better off to yell
Into the abyss of nothingness
I've walked amongst the mortal
Although dead since a small child.
I've tried hard to be patient,
But the pain is never mild.
How much do I have to bleed?
To earn a simple glance?
Desires of a true safe place
But that dream never had a chance...
A shadow in the background
My soul harber's no light.
I chase a child's aspiration
No end to this war I fight.
I still follow the rainbows.
As if my hope had never died.
But I am nothing but a ghost
No matter how hard I've tried.
