Why can’t you acknowledge and accept me?
Not for who you wish I was,
But who I’ve come to be?
Not by choice, and not from spite,…
By providence and necessity.
For I can not escape from myself,
Where I live entirely,…
And where none come to find me.
M.E……..Missing Eternally.

You destroyed me, left, and did not care,
Now you lie and say you were never there.
Live in your lies all that you want to,
Though, no matter what, they will not save you.
Pretend you’ve been wronged. Pretend you’re kind,
And someday soon you will be sure to find,…
There’s nothing left once the facade fades…
Emptiness perpetually pervades.
You sold your soul to self-delusion,
And gained no more than a poor illusion,…
Of a human.

The world has become as crazy as my mind,
Now no matter where I turn,
I can not find,…
Relief.
What else can one do in such times, but survive,
And hope for a tomorrow,
Where they’re alive,…
Enough.
‘Til then, I pass the days waiting actively,
In protection of my soul,
And sanity,…
To fight,…
For the world that’s yet to be.

I waited lifetimes for men to do what is right,
To seek truth, no matter how hard,
And light-up the ageless night,…
In search of each shard,
Of forgotten plight.
Yet, there’s no use in waiting for hope or justice,
When men seek what’s easy, not just,…
And sleep soundly at night, feckless,
As shadows are thrust,
In each orifice.
I waited lifetimes for no more than fantasy;
For when I look into the black,
It gazes back into me,
While those who won’t see,
Endlessly attack,…
And I grin, knowingly.

Humanity used and hurt me for it’s gain,
And when I cried out in pain,
It consumed my voice.
Fear and suspicion pervaded all the stars.
They claimed “theirs”, of what was ours,
And eclipsed the sun.
Now I pine in this interstellar darkness,
Writing on of my distress,
And though it may be useless,…
Send it into space.
