I want to BE

Lost to time
Blank like a zombie
Clouds hover over my head
Hands could never see

Wave them off they blur
My vision into darkness
Let me be here for a while
In my world of ignorance

For your world seeks to drink
My blood and my soul
Push me into a shell
Cage me into that pigeon hole

Let me say the final goodbyes
To you and to time
For now it doesn’t matter anymore
Neither ridiculous nor sublime

So don’t come to me
For there is nothing to offer
Stop digging and poking me
Silence has emptied my coffer.

And now, I just want to BE
Exist for no reason at all
A rock stoic and unmoved
Come winter, come fall.
