Detached (as told by a real dream), by Cherie Subscribe to rss feed for Cherie

I am detached from the outside world.
There is no one who will ever begin to notice me.
People think that they will know me in the next two years,
But it's too late.
I am dug deep inside the earth with a beach shovel,
Forever trapped in a peaceful darkness.

I have lifted those weights before.
I am the only one who has crossed the line on purpose,
So as to give up my burning soul.
Many people have not yet observed that once you go ahead,
You cannot turn back.

I am the only one who hasn't soared through the air
Or even thought of the quiet beauty of the environment.
I am the only one who would sacrifice my life
Even if it weren't necessary,
Because the amount of pure memory in my mind is finite.

I am not a believer of miracles.
Obedience will never pass through the cracks in my heart.
I have been given a shocking gift,
Strangely unknown, yet famous around the world,
For I have been given the gift of death.

I am exactly the person you say I am,
Trapped in the jail of poverty and anguish.
I have the prediction not of polishing my past,
But wiping out my future,
Because I truly can go alone no more.

I have experienced wounds in my spirit.
As the planet spins around on its axis
And gets even closer to the Sun,
What am I to do? There is nothing to discover,
Nothing to solve.

I cannot scroll down the list of time,
Or be taught to possess the touch of a swan.
Elegance is not in my grasp,
Nor is the start of a new day,
And it never will be.

I stay in my cave, shivering to the bone.
Never nonchalant, yet never concerned.
Other beings are not the least bit charitable
To my feelings.
However, my thoughts are strong in spite of themselves.

I do not have the ability to remember,
To love those who have died in my presence.
People say that I am filled with hatred,
Concealed with the dark shadows of the past.
They are right.

So that is why I am detached from the outside world.
There is no one who will ever begin to notice me.
People think that they will know me in the next two years,
But it's too late.
I am dug deep inside the earth with a beach shovel,
Forever trapped in a peaceful darkness.
