Pink Said it Best

Like a shadow I walk

Watching as they talk

But I never speak a word

Because I don't want to be heard


This wall that surrounds me

Impenetrable it encloses me

Indestructible it traps me


Like a shadow I die

Living in this self denial of a lie

If you could call it living at all

If that's what is really behind the wall


But I see through

Past flesh I see through

Through to the sad truth that is you


I pass through once again

Unnoticed once again

Was it pink who said it best?

Another brick for my nest?


And I know they saw its construction

They all facilitated the construction

But I can't explain why, can't understand why, was it the weakness in I? To allow for the barrier to grow so high? And let what was within decay, until a shadow is all that remains

Here I walk, like shadow of someone that used to be, passing through those that I happen to see. I know they see the wall too, see what was left crumble into view. But they don't understand that there's nothing left on the other side, nothing left to continue at all, so they place another brick, just another brick in the wall
