Stuck In Time

MatPie

I am a ghost in the crowds

A gust of winds may push

Me off the edge of the world

The twilight would turn me

Into a stone hidden in the dirt

Screaming for something

Reaching to be something

 

I walk alone in the cities

Loneliness drowns and cries

A worrywart burning in hell

In my powerlessness

Against the entire world

Becoming a doormat

For everybody to walk over

 

A choke in the breeze

Lost in the tomb of time

An internal outgrown paradise

An external error in the system

I sink my teeth into earth

To feel how to feel again

For my soul to echo through

 

My body a broken clock

Expecting for another tick

A step forward into the future

It feels like I'm inside

A perpetual waiting room

Reading my friends’ successes

While rotting into earth

 

Nothing has ever changed

With my feet on this world

Memories eat itself

Like a feather of a bird

Sweeps with the wind

I shall fly with the skylards

And never be seen again.
