Otherwise Occupied

Not seeing me, you say
But I’m here everyday

Because you look with physical eyes 
You miss that which my soul disguise

But I’m still here, still living, still breathing
Other tasks to which my minds in-keeping

My priorities set, but better yet
Entwined in things I won’t regret

Make your mark
I’ll make mines’ too
But until then, do, stay true

great write. line 4 should be changed to You can't see my soul when in disguise the sentence as it stands needs disguise as a plural, which does not fit. sorry to intrude on your words please write more!
