Though nothing makes me want, I want to say words I've never thought. Even though nothing comes to mind, I have memories on my mind. I am like a cache of erased realities. I'm the words you have tried to find. Like a stream that divides into rivers, I am the choice of left and right.

In a world known to be an illusion, I am the photo you can not take. Like a dream that you always tried to remember, I am the images that you can not keep.

Like a bear sleeping in an empty cave, I am the time spent in hibernation. Like a dear in the open woods, I am waiting for a bullet to take me.

I am like the sun in the early morning. I am a memory you cannot fake. I am the moment, you see the sunshine. I am the child waiting for their mother. I am the hopelessness of my wanting; though my wanting keeps me real.

Even though there is nothing that confines me, my wisdom has no appeal Though I have pictured my future reality, my past seems all too real. Even though I have lived a life I’m proud of, nothing ever feels real. Even though I fill the emptiness inside me, every morning feels surreal.

Even though there is nothing left to argue, there is no faith in what I’ve made.
A lifetime that I have pretended, is the result of choices made.

Though I am a shadow on a wall, my image is not carried onto the ceiling. Though I am the dirt above the plate, I'm the out waiting to be made.

Even though there is a another day, every second is another grave.. Even though there is another hour, there are still mistakes to be claimed..

The things I wanted expressed, are the first things I forget.

The ideas I tried to cherish, are but words I couldn't contain, every truth I tried to utter, have become the things I should never say.

Cause I’m like the ants crawling inside a house; that is trying to kill them LL. I am like the creature inside a zoo.. That is lost all its imagination.
