Sudden Lamentation
Sunday, April 16, 2006
When you realise at last
Without much of a fuss
That you are but a piece of glass
Barely noticed as you walk pass
When you come to know such
That what you thought meant much
Was but dust to be scattered
Or like garbage to be trampled
When it dawns upon you
And you know and you know it's true
That nothing that you say or do
Means anything although you want it to
When you find that you are nobody
Even though you try hard not to be
And struggle with things you can't see
And are reminded that it's vain futility
So realise that you mean nothing
Your existence was merely fleeting
Face it, don't keep denying
It's not easy but just keep trying
Then perhaps you will grow stronger
Though it hurts when you realise it's bitter
To be invisible and be thought of never
Though you remember
And wished you too could just turn your rear
It might take years
But perhaps someday, things will be better
