I, Ghost

Be gentle. A work of mine that has been reworked over time into this finished writing.

I lose myself in the lies that lie behind.
I search my heart, but the soul I can not find.
Whispers in the night, screams riding the wind
I reach into the falling mist searching for the end.

My breath comes quick and in haste
As I stand at the precipice with no time to waste.
I gaze out over this tragically beautiful sight
Only to realize just how much I love the night.

I reside in this place where the feelings are real.
I inhabit this place where I venture to heal.
Inside myself is where I walk, haunted and torn
Deep in the abyss I float, scarred and worn.

I have often traversed in more than one reality.
Surprising how many pass through, yet never see.
They walk to and fro in a falsified dream.
They close their eyes so things aren't what they seem.

It is darker here where I choose to wander.
The answers are clearer here where I choose to ponder.
I look inside myself to find it gray and dreary.
I roam the grounds there until I am weak and weary.

There is no end to the shrouded night.
There is no crack in reality to filter the light.
Here I am good and evil, an angel for hire.
My wings are rough and ragged with one in the fire.

I pass through life like a ghost on the breeze.
I store the memories in a place no one ever sees.
When all is said and done, will they ever see
That even in the looming darkness, I am still just me?

At first I thought it was written from the perspective of an actual ghost, then I realized....... it's awesomeness. It's deliciously conflicted.

This jerk says good work.

Loved it Kanga.

WOW! That was awesome!!!!!! I think besides the title of moderator beneath your name, you should add writer! LOVED this!

Thanks for the kind words guys! It made my day.

Hope it's ok to give this thread a bump. I feel a lot of people may have missed it and it's too good not to share.
