Almost Like a Ghost

Almost like a ghost Almost to shade me in silence To belong am I never close As a being am I only true in absence Am I considered lesser to compare? Is every other far more in superiority? There are no ventures I never yet not dare Is simply what we want, forever in obscurity...? Like a screen behind every mirror Like a ghost behind every human To feel like dying for living to be better To only feel alive before we actually learn If I'm to disappear one day I'm pretty sure I'll fade away unnoticed Silencing words for ghost to ever say Perhaps humans are the apprentice I am a human to the world absent Simply when living amongst, I never felt truly close A one me shaded in a deafening silent Perhaps as a being, I'm almost like a ghost
