We watch the world but never really see,
How days fly by immersed in the worlds pain.
And yet we never join reality
As we follow lifes journey down a drain.
Yet we believe life is everlasting,
as the fruits of life grow old with neglect.
We have seen the shadow we are casting,
yet they seize the apple without regret.
For the thought never flitted through their minds

A simple friendship.
A warm hand to hold mine.
sometimes i feel as if the whole world is falling through my fingers
everything i loved vanishes before my eyes
it hurts, but life goes on,
almost methodically
i go to the same school
interact with the same people,
just more blandly
as if a grey cloud has descended over my glimmering universe
everybody around me is fake
with masks to hide their emotions
to hide behind
.

i am the same
i hide myself inside, don't we all?
so i lay there
in a field on my desk, dreamt up
