I Dont Exist
If I strain, I can hear the laughter
Through my groggy half asleep dream.
The sounds of joy and jubilation
That I cannot participate in even after
Myself in front of them I have tried to redeem
The sounds echo in this majestic house,
The noise made by young and old alike
As I float around aimlessly like a ghost
My voice heard like a whisper, as meek as a mouse,
Will they notice if I just ride away on my bike??
I try to talk to them time and again,
My words are indecipherable
Am I an alien to my own kind??
It feels like I'm on a tether of my own making- I am in chains
I wish I could break free somehow, and know I am no longer entangled
I will break free the chains entangling me
