I’m not a fixture anymore.  Don’t belong here today.

Just passing through the door. Just passing through life

I’m not a fixture anymore. I thought I was.  

This was my home.  I was wrong.  

I’m not a fixture anymore.  Going day by day.

Just one more day just one more day.  Let me get through just one more day.

I’m not a fixture anymore.  You will remember my face.

No photos to prove anything I was never really here.  You have no proof.

I’m not a fixture anymore.  Accepted the consequences.

Did I even exist. Did I change your life.  Always in the shadows no drive to be great.  

I’m not a fixture anymore. Hiding in the shadows.

Standing behind someone to hide my shame. Walk away just walk away.

I’m not a fixture anymore. I’ve wrote my path.

What mark did I leave.  Nothing nothing. Did you even see what I’ve done.

I’m not a fixture anymore. Hanging in the back.

Always in the back.  Behind the scenes.  Never centre stage.  I should have been.

I’m not a fixture anymore.   I tried enough.

Just do enough to get by.  Don’t get noticed.  Don’t stand out.  Don’t make a scene  

I’m not a fixture anymore.  How can I be.

What type of life is this?  Why should I go on?   No one will even know.  What’s to show.

I’m not a fixture anymore.  I am free.

Blessed be
