The Wall
Cover the ears
the eyes
the heart
You are the wall
stone, steady
they cannot touch you
cannot affect you
cannot hurt you
feel no pain
know no sorrow
pride at the cost of reputation
Words are simply phrases
meaningless
Ignore everything
you are different
separated
never a part of the whole
never a perfect fit
You are the senseless death
loss of life
no change
The world does not mourn you
does not notice if you disappear
Not your friends
not close
Disappear, Vanish
Find importance in another place
or better
Stop searching for importance
accept obscurity
plainness, disposability.
