A hope, dream denied
To break from the mold
Away from the circle
To watch the world from afar
A wish of every living one
To be unique and away
But I did
I broke away
Standing in the middle of life
Watching it spin around me
Watching existence work like clockwork
All around me
At first it was paradise
Away from life
From caring and concern
Indifference was here
Along with death
Yet I was still living
Watching the circle
Circle of life
Dance around me
People caught up
In Love, Hurt, Affection
And I missed it
I missed it
I wanted it back
I tried, tried to reenter the world
I tried to talk to them
But they couldn't hear me
They smiled
And waved
And kept dancing
I am alone
In the middle of life
With no one to touch my hand
No one to say my name
Do they even know my name anymore?
I cannot express how I feel
My feelings are alien to them
They've never left life
And been forced to watch it all around them
But here I stand
As life goes on
People feel and grow
I stand stagnant
Watching, waiting
For just some care to be shown
Back.
