ImageThe WallImage

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.
