Dead but Alive


Dead but still alive 

Wanting to live

But at the same time die

A ghost that has just been killed 

Yet has been dead for a thousand years 

Afraid to be seen for my true self 

Yet my true self not being so bad

Feeling alone 

But at the same time in a room full of people 

So full I'm backed into a corner 

The room becoming so small

To see blackness but at the same time light 

Fall to the ground only to get back up

With the only thing left to say is goodbye
