                      Ghost

                      Afraid, I am not anymore
                      the thought of losing, abandoned
                      I will walk again, or maybe not
                      the numbness is now gone, or so I thought
                      my emotions have taken a complicated route
                      I have confused the conspiracy
                      the words are lost
                      the meanings unwritten
                      to understand is difficult
                      I imagine what does not exist for others
                      I live in a world filled with people but there is no one
                      nothingness is what I am compelled to be
                      no one knows me
                      never will
                      I'm not different
                      just a little confounded
                      to be or not to be
                      is still not the question
                      it is to be, we are forced to be
                      but which one is the question
                      who too needs the answer
                      not known nor ever will
                      dreams are dead and beginnings ended
                      even the prophecies have a duplicate
                      refuse to believe the truth
                      the word itself is a lie
                      there is no verity anymore
                      it has ceased to exist
                      the words of God have changed too
                      and so has the author of the book
                      the verity is gone
                      only what wants to be read is written
                      there is no more honesty
                      just whatever one wants to hear and believe
                      even the reality is a virtual
                      what we see is not what appears
                      because the appearance is unrecognizable
                      in a virtual world we live
                      every head has two faces
                      every face has a different reflection
                      there is no reason to believe anymore
                      trusting is suicide
                      one's hurting called upon by their will
                      there is no escape
                      only the sinking sand of lies
                      I have no one
                      friends have left
                      love is lost
                      family has forgotten
                      I am a ghost or maybe even worse
                      because everyone sees me but cannot feel
