Nameless
Anonymous and forgettable I wander
Blinded by regrets I forever ponder
Culpable to say the least for derailing
Detached but enmeshed with failing
Entertaining other ways of being
Frogmarching self to edge isn't freeing
Gracefully I should accept and recede
Hide in the background, forego need
Indications are I'm not making a mark
Justifying a flame to find a spark
Keeps me warm as I freeze alone
Like me, like me, make me feel home
Mask has slipped but still no recognition
Nameless, faceless, lost ambition
Open the ground to let me in
Place me there amongst my kin
Quote the birth and death dates told
Remember not a tortured soul
Seat me in my rightful space
To be unremembered, as out of place
Unremarkable, does not stand out
Ventured nowhere I don't doubt
Who am I, even I don't recall
Xenization did befall
Yell into the void "who am I"
Zoetrope cycle until I die
