it's a mistake to be....

a birth unannounced
a death unquestioned
a life of anonymity
the corollary of silence

a road less taken
a path forsaken
a journey of solitude
the corollary of silence

a conversation forgotten
an insolence forgiven
a facade of indifference
the corollary of silence

a success ignored
a word unheard
a person made of smoke
the corollary of silence

it's strange that i ain't stranger

i kicked over the hourglass

time stopped, life ceased to pass

shutting out the future, living out the past

the moment in time, that will till eternity last

fingers pointing, blurry ghosts haunting

the unforgivable memory, forever daunting

it's strange that i ain't stranger

looked at life with a magnifying glass
all things lost, that have come to pass
bitter things clear, good things sparse
lies, travesties...a goddamn farce
