I lie on soft sheets
I dream of beauty
I am all that is man

I hope for a future
I dream of a past
I long I hope I feel

Yet i am not you
I do not accept
I yearn but am empty

I kiss only air
I hold only space
I talk merely to hear

So the universe rebels
I am a vacuum abhored
Come laugh at the sad clown

I hear voices at night
Split the dark together
Yet i am blind always

In company I am alone
In truth am i free
Pity not for i do not need

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

This is sad and yet so honest....I sense your inner strength.

Well done...
