just a wanderer

"i'm wandering around these busy towns
and passing by strangers who i used to know, but don't recognise anymore.

i'm here and there from time to time.
i make appearances to make people think i'm fine.

i see so many of you walking past my empty silhouette,
barely taking a look at my screaming figure,
pleading for someone to notice me.

but those same strangers
just leave me to wilt upon this ground of evil.
can't you see me? can't you hear me?
i see and hear you all the time...
but when it's me? you're suddenly fine.

clearly i'm just a nobody:
a simple, lost person who's just a wanderer,
hoping to find something (anything)
to keep me alive and sane
in this world of plain."
