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

Thank you Sara, that's the beauty of the non de plume - I can take things a bit further and not feel self conscious. X and Z did require a bit of dictionary delving but I loved the words I found. Thank you for your support, always appreciated x
