Please do not assume I am alive
I merely pass, existing as a star
not bright enough to rival the life of Suns
not able to reflect the beauty I see
The moon
shining down on me
Please do not assume I am you
My thoughts
My desires, enemies to one’s self
Are as seperate from my own mind
As yours
I may be a mirror, but then am only glass
Please do not assume I am human
I am the observer
Container of life
A vase of dried flowers
A faded portrait in dusty glass
Husk of something once there
Please do not assume you are me
What once tied me to you
Has now been lost. I float untethered
Lost ship in the skies and heavenly Seize.
the day. But the time has passed, unbothered
Sun crossing the land, marching band of fireflies
Please do not assume we are the same
My heart does not beat
Arrhythmic rhythm of an ancient song
I do not feel
The rain, the sun, the thunder peal
Please do not assume
