             “I am an invisible man...I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.” -Ralph Ellison (Invisible Man)

Sadly?

Sadly a new day has closed
Maybe an old one shall open
Door stoppers break legs
And fresh faces always fade
 
Breathtaking plunges
Harsh lunges
Take it away
Bring it in
Switch the brakes
Fix the gear.
 
I wish yesterday was tomorrow
So I could be a psychic
Don’t you wish you had your way?
Don’t you wish you knew what was behind door number 2?
 
Stop crying
Be human and fight the dragons
Keep swimming to the finish line
Don’t hold me back with your fears
Just stay afloat.
Just stay afloat
Afloat
Afloat.
If you drown you’ll be gone
Don’t drown
Just stay afloat
Afloat
 
Just stay afloat.
Keep breathing for me they say.
For you.
What about me?
 
Shouldn’t I
No let’s not finish that sentence, it’s too gruesome.
It’s too sad.
 
 The words I use do not have the same meaning
As they would for everyone else
Only I understand.
No one cares to care.
 
See? That doesn’t exactly mean what it means.
Stop being a surface feeder.
Hypocritical words
 
 Catch a feeling
Throw a fit
