Ghost

I feel like a ghost
Everyone sees right through me
I feel like a ghost
I say nothing so they walk straight through me

I act like a ghost
Are my feet touching the ground?
Am I really walking?
Sometimes
I have
to check
And sometimes I forget to move.

I am a ghost
I've only lived for a while, but
I'm sort of fragile
And I feel like any little thing will send me
Drifting

I'm not a ghost
They don't walk through me, they just walk straight past me
There's no such thing as ghosts
But personally I think I'm getting pretty close.

If a girl lives her life
And no one sees
Is she really there or is she just dreaming?

This is weirdly similar to my last poem...I guess these problems have always sort of been around, huh?
