Split images. < !signature-->A reflection on the wall. The only time I feel real is when I'm not truly there. A glance in the mirror, quick summation of my life. Very little worthy to recall. I don't think I care to much for me. I guess that's not too bad, just imitation of reality. I might as well be the only one. Sometimes wish I could get away. I hope for no tomorrow. I pray for no today. Sometimes I sleep and wish to not wake up. Would any one know where I was? Will any one know I'm gone? I'm just being silly. I don't know. I've not had a bad life, sure as hell was not a suffering child. I've never REALLY been ridiculed. I've never stuck out at all. I'm just here. A person you pass by on your way through life, then just as quickly forget about. Me...the invisible man floating through the crowd. Wasting away till dawn, not really changing a thing. But if in case, during life, you never knew me, dammit I was there! ...oh well... understanding is misunderstood [This message has been edited by Effigy (edited 04-29-2000).] |

Effigy~ I wonder just how many people feel this ? 'But if in case, during life, you never knew me, dammit I was there!' I think it's up to each of us to step onto the world stage and declare our presence known. The spotlight shines on those who dare pirouette in it's glow. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, you just might be right? Who knows? That spot light can be very intising, and often elusive. understanding is misunderstood |

A very thought provoking piece. I do this so much of the time... You know, reflect on the way of things. *Glad to know I'm not the only one... *whew!* LOL Loved your statement of definace at the end. YES! |

i like this piece a lot. i for one can relate. i think a lot of people go through life thinking they are unnoticed but you'd be suprised at the impact your presence/absence can have on people. i often am but am always grateful to hear it. thanks for the lovely poem, jo |
