is not
the boat cast out to sea..
is not the island
i appear to be
is not as happy
as my smile would seem
is not the man
so lost in your dreams..
is not the answer, not the sound
is not the being that was once so
profound..
is not lost inside this wall of sound...

I have a feeling there's a lot in this poem that's a little to deep for me to grasp. I feel like I'm missing out on something here! But for the most part, very well done. I love the simplicity in the way you put it together and worded it (it's more beautiful that way I think) but the meaning behind it is anything but simple. Wanna share? I'd love to hear it from you...
