I catch my reflection in the smoky glass Amber waves; they play as the lights float past In the distance, I hear a voice; not mine "How's it going?" A question heard a million times A fleeting pause that lasts a thousand years Quickened breath, a sigh; fighting back a tear "Everything is fine", the standard reply Silence washes over me in waves I have never felt anything this vague Undefined. Indistinct. Without form A specter erecting internal walls You know it's true The things they say to you You can't run away or Bury your head in the sand Why would it be me? How certain can they be? I know myself more than They could ever hope to This makes no difference Fate shows no deference When she picks a path for you No-one chose my path for me Nothing laid out at my feet My life; my words you will heed Yet you ramble on the same Reasons levied in vain All my morality How did it get me here? This cannot be happening to me
