As I drift away from society I wonder how long it will be Before society no longer notices me. And I become just another black and white memory of someone that used to be. How long do we leave before we're truly gone? In words left behind will I linger on? Or is it just poetic vanity, to think my words grant some Minor form of Immortality.

Poetic Immortality
As I drift away from society I wonder how long it will be Before society no longer notices me. And I become just another black and white memory of someone that used to be. How long do we leave before we're truly gone? In words left behind will I linger on? Or is it just poetic vanity, to think my words grant some Minor form of Immortality.
Been gone awhile glad to be back!
