What You Are

You live in shadows
Follow behind in the shadows
Disappear into the shadows
You are everywhere
Yet you are nowhere

You sit with humans
Speaking like one
Hearing like one
Yet you are far away
You know there's this distance between

A distance you pretend isn't there
Yet it's so obvious
You fill them with false information
Information which is just a myth
Far from the truth

Just like you
Everything is far
And you like it like that
Cause you never felt like one of us
So push yourself away more

You only fill the hole with false lies
Just to hide the distance
So you won't cause troubles with us
To not cause suspicion on yourself
To keep yourself away from spotlight

You are a shadow
A void
A scattered puzzle
A puzzle that has piece missing
Those pieces aren't even created

Those pieces aren't created
Aren't created because you have none
No emotions
No attachments
No fulfilment

You don't want anything
Yet you want everything
You live a life of dullness
Yet dream of luxury
What are you?

You ask yourself
I know what you are
A puzzle who made itself
Itself purposely leaving pieces out
Out so no one can get close

Close enough
Enough that you won't have a purpose
You sleep in your thoughts
Your thoughts consume you
Louder than silence

So loud you go insane
And pretend to be fine
Yet you're never fine
Because you're incomplete
Because you gave yourself no meaning
