Start Living

poetboy123

Ignorance is the cruelest enemy we could ever face

Unwavering and invisible, leaving no trace

Succumbing our minds to the latest trends

Need this, need that, need to fit in, needs have no end

 

You may be walking, talking, and breathing

Regardless, you are a ghost that's simply aging

A phantom being lied to and molded for others greed

Blank and empty, no ambition nor flame, dreams recede

 

No one else can ever kindle the fire in your heart

No one else could ever show you where to start

No one else can ever reach out for you in the dark

 

Will you be a sack of skin and bag of bones

Waiting til the day you're a forgotten tombstone

 

Because for you

No one else can feel the sunshine

No one else can see the shadows

No one else can hear the screams

No one else can start living

      Amazing work, no one can do it but plenty can help guide you, to live or to remain a ghost.

      I find it's best to drift into both or stay in the middle watching from above or below. Inspired me already!
