A pilgrim of nowhere
I don't belong to anything
In the crowd, but not of it
What am I ? a pauper or a king ?
Do I live in a castle,
with its walls so high ?
Or am I destitute,
living on a prayer and a sigh ?
I could be both,
yes I can be either
being a king seems to be sad
and I can't be a pauper either
Guarding my emotions
with bars of memories
or hoarding the joys
from all the good stories
Giving it all up
when I see it as futile
only to begin again
is this really worthwhile ?
There seems to be a wall
built to surround me
I scream out for help
but no one stays around me
Is this is the cry
of a lonely soul ?
Or is it the shriek
of a thing so foul ?
I don't see the world
as I am supposed to see it
I don't know how to be
If I did I would be it..
thus I begin to question
the very nature if this state
is this my delusion
or is this my fate ?
I see people as they are ( or I think that I do )
not as they want to be seen
Is this the reason I am blind
to all things in between ?
Is this why I am
stuck between these two faces ?
neither makes sense
but offers empty places....
