All is dust

By silentninja

I have nothing to do today
Same as yesterday
A repeat of tomorrow

I wake in an evolving world
Evolves around me
Revolves without me

The years steal youth from my fibre
In my heart I am only Seventeen
In my mind I am forever twentyone

Dust piles before
As hous turn to seconds
Only two times a day exist
And one is not even daytime

I don't feel happy
I dont feel sad
I just don't feel

I am nothing without my mask
No-one sees me
No-one even looks at me
People turn away when my mask cracks

I return to the silence
To watch another eternity
Vanish into nothing
I'll exist in the shadows

    Masks is what people see all the time. Maybe that's what we're afraid of. The silence that's between every tic tac. The distance between your nose and your mask.
