Sleeping

sylviasearcher

Sometimes I feel invisible

Unless I am of particular use

Or making my best endeavour

To be good

 

But mostly I feel hardly here

Unless I am being what you need

Or tiring you with my relentlessness

To exist

 

What is left of me?

When we take away

All that is for

Everyone else?

 

A long lost dream

Shipwrecked

On a land that thrives

On empty eyes and lies

 

Sometimes I feel like a fake

Unless I am alone and left to roam

Or fighting with all you'll ever let me be

To make myself

  • peto

    Wakey wakey sylvia
    You never disappoint

    • sylviasearcher

      Oh I absolutely do!

      • peto

        Oh ok
        I'll have to take your word for that.
        You certainly don't with your writing

        • sylviasearcher

          Well that is a very kind thing to say. My rejection letters tell me different. Have you been reading my writing silently for a while?

          • peto

            I have read one or two

            • sylviasearcher

              Well thanks for the appreciation then!
