revolving world


The world

Goes round and round,

But not around me.

It never has,

It never will.

People I love

 will never surround me.

The silence in my head,

It screams loudly,

Deafening all other sounds.

After a while,

It feels soothing and calming. 

 

It's always been this way.

And I am fine with it.

I have come to peace

With never having attention.

Hide in the shadows,

Stay in the back,

Seem to be attractive,

But still don't attract.

but even if i did

how would i react?

would i freeze?

would I laugh?

i may never know

but what if that

can just be in my past?

 

step into the light

and let my colors burst

only show the happy

even if im at my worst

trick them all

make them belive

that i am a piece of art

more like im too good to be true

That im really  make believe.

make them really see

the real me

and finally maje the shadows leave
