Not Dead...YET


I want to be invisible Silently gliding through life Unseen – unheard – untouched I want the wall to be built One brick One lie One cut One word One cut All Everything One at a time I want to never forget I want to forgive To let the people go To let the tears fill up Then - drown, choke me I want to the hatred to fill me up And poison me I want… A feeling Just one Be it happiness or sorrow Anguish or hopelessness I just want to feel To be not dead
