INDIFFERENCE
So what happens when you go cold?
I feel a certain need to shake people's hands
Hold onto them for more than a second
Happy that another person acknowledges my existence
There's a tower built upon the ashes
Of my choking senses
By non other than the self same person that stifled them
Myself.
Buried 6 feet under, not able to breathe
No longer aware of others auras
Fears, hate love, pain. lives
How did this happen
There seems to be no one to offer
An explanation because everyone
Was talking when they should have listened
It's polar, like I've traveled 2 million miles
South of the border
I've reached the outer limits of a city where I do not belong
No one took the ride with me
But I did once let them drive me anywhere they want to
When they wanted to
The sun shines here, but with an arrogant face I turn away from
it
Just like all the other citizens
I feel the wind or shall I say I hear it
But we are unaffected by it
Walking on glass never felt more like a breeze
As it does to me now
What I would have given only a short while ago to be here
I would give now, just to get away
In my dreams I'm driving back
Where I came from
They all look at me with dazzled faces
At my ongoing existence
How I try to belong
To empathies they smile
Corrupted smiles smothered by tears
But hat here every raindrop that hits the ground, reaps hurt, pain,
shame
So I wake up
I travel to my asylum
There's a sign back home
Guiding others to my new existence
Everyone says, they've been there done that
Some say the address is too tough to follow; it's a long way down
But I never felt this way
When I first came here I plunged
Into indifference.
I can't remember how
It's not so much what happens anymore when you get cold
But why it is so easy for me
To dance on waterfalls
Stare at the sun
Run through fire and walk on ice.
