Nothing more, nothing less

I have been told that I am nothing more
And nothing less than what all I might see

Just as another with words to impress
Merely a phrase on a sheet penned by me

Gray floating shadows on walls of despair
Painted in shades of an off branded smile

Generic emotions with only a price
Left on the rack labeled way out of style

Mirrored reflections of everyone else
Acting alike every face on the page

Watching the curtains rise up to the sky
Accepting applause in a crowd on the stage

Of all these feelings that live in my heart
Not very special in spite of the view

All that I wanted was you by my side
I did whatever I thought I should do

I didn’t notice, perhaps I was blind
Everyone else, they were doing the same

I was no different, not even a bit
All I can say is my heart was to blame

Now I will wander the ends of the earth
Where ever life places in front of me

For, I have been told that I am nothing more
And nothing less than what all I might see
