A Phantom

How much oversight in the how many eyes

That watch over me yet cannot spot the lies

The things hidden, these make-believe

bonds, the corruption, the whole

Parts of me, inside of it all there’s a hole

That all those sharp and piercing knives

Will never be able to see.

 

I am

Not normal.

 

They watch, but they don’t look.

They rectify, but don’t analyze.

Always staying in the corner,

Sometimes peaking out

Just to say you’re there, what

Do you think you’re even doing?

 

You didn’t see

Anything of me.

 

The person you all “know”

Is nothing but a phantom.

Not one made of death,

Evil and ominous schemes,

But of a small, pathetic reality

Which again and again

Keeps failing to believe itself.

 

This little phantom right here,

They just decided that

They want to become

a real person.

 

And they’re sorry for disappearing

From everyone’s sight.

 

But don’t worry. I’m still here.

About Pablo__

With no prior experience in publications and a few projects still on hold, I mainly joined the project because I wanted to get rid of my own fears and stop making myself invisible by default. As much as this goal is not as grandiose as what you would expect, I will still try my best to reach it, and I think it’s enough for anyone to join. Hope you hear my Voice around.
