Like leaves, tears drop and float effortlessly down scarred cheeks. To the world, they remain anonymous and silent but to me, they are the world. Becoming glass shards in broken eyes, and elvin daggers in a limp heart. A body spinning counterclockwise, going no where but sicker as the days flash by. I am a number, a false statistic that hasn't registered yet. I am made up and imaginary, just like hands are to time, just like green is to money. I grow tired of this worlds mentality more and more with each shallow breath. I remain on the outskirts of everything as I stay unconformed and partially used. There is an ever present dust seeping into my wounds and it's eating away all I am, all I stand for and my bones. They have turned to dust, my soul has given way to rust.

A foreign body; never belonging yet caged.
Like leaves, tears drop and float effortlessly down scarred cheeks. To the world, they remain anonymous and silent but to me, they are the world. Becoming glass shards in broken eyes, and elvin daggers in a limp heart. A body spinning counterclockwise, going no where but sicker as the days flash by. I am a number, a false statistic that hasn't registered yet. I am made up and imaginary, just like hands are to time, just like green is to money. I grow tired of this worlds mentality more and more with each shallow breath. I remain on the outskirts of everything as I stay unconformed and partially used. There is an ever present dust seeping into my wounds and it's eating away all I am, all I stand for and my bones. They have turned to dust, my soul has given way to rust.
Maybe I'm just a tumour in society.
