Description Leave my body far below
a bloody broken cell of flesh.
A silent spectre in the shadows
I watch the lives of those I left.

Going about their daily lives
never giving me a glance
I reach into their deepest dreams
just to find a black expanse.

No fond memories of my life
only then disguised contempt.
Face me smiling, stab my back
My eyes go shut, my strength goes limp.

I thought I had so many friends
I told them all how great I was
The life so many others envied
Full of people, lacking love.

All through life I loved to think that
I'm the one they want to be.
But now in death I see so clearly
that no one mourns the Late Great Me...

hey what's up matrix. cool poem. I just got a temporary seasonal job, and it's cool because I'll never have the chance to get caught in any dramas of the workplace (hopefully). Finally a job where I don't have to be a stupid team player. of course it is only temporary. anyway...I'm sick of all the beautiful important people. wtf. cool poem. take it easy.
