Thoughts 1-17-18

If she waded in like a tidal wave,
Would she even be noticed?
Thoughts crossing her mind,
Thoughts haunting her every move.
She is like the shadows
That light casts away.
She is like the setting sun,
Everyone takes her for granted.

What would happen if she disappeared?
Maybe then people would notice the little things,
Maybe they'd notice her presence was gone...
Just another face,
Disappeared into the crowd.

She was like a flame to the room,
But not anymore.
She is fading into memories of others.
She is disintegrating into time.
This is what happens to people.

Fading into time is what I do.
Closing my eyes and time traveling.
Traveling to places most people don't even imagine.
Going to lands most don't even know exist.

I tame animals that most think are fake,
Most don't even know the amount of power
A single individual can hold.
Most people don't even know it's reality.
Not a lot of people believe in the impossible,
Or what you can't see.

Everything must be visible,
Or it ain't real.
Why can't people realize that it ain't just that?
Why can't they realize life is full of mysterious stuff?
Cause we are man kind.
Or most of us are.
If I was an animal,
I have no idea what I would be...
All I know is that I'd be a rare one.
Hard to find and come across.
Just so I wouldn't go extinct.
I'd hide from people,
Hide from every living creature.

Or maybe I wouldn't be anything.
Just a particle of air.
Fragment of time.
Just so I can watch people and always exist.
People wouldn't be able to see me,
And couldn't destroy me.

People...
So many,
Yet our existence is so small.
Like pests to this planet.

The road,
We use it every day,
But we hate it.
Never appreciating what it does for us,
But who cares?
All we do is use people and stuff.
It's what we do.
