~ I Am Gone ~

You see me in front of you

Yet, you can tell I’m not there

Please don’t take any offense

Trust, it’s not that I don’t care

 

It’s just this outside world

Is so much for me to take

And so this inside world

Helps me give my soul a break

 

It may sound crazy, I know

But I am far from insane

If you want I can show you

The world inside your brain

 

All it takes is some focus

While accepting the soul

Then you slowly take notice

And live up to your role

 

One day the world will be on this level

Looks like it can’t be too long

Before we have to rise above the devil

But, until then, I am GONE

 

D.A. Koroma
