Here I am,
Among these comfortable liars.
Leaning with them,
Whispering together in false tones.
I will always remember their trained expressions;
gestures with no meaning.

This is the land of make believe
Yet still,
it believes not in me.
I am fabricated as they are,
enveloped in my own contempt.

I trade my thoughts for echoes,
mere replications of a collective mind.
I cannot react or motion,
Without a force not my own.

This is our reality
This is our fantasy

These are our dreams,
These are our waking moments.

Life is none but a fallacy.
A pointless endeavor ,
of which we play no part.

For together we are,
alone,
We are not.

I am a prisoner among them
I am a prisoner among them
I am a prisoner among them

If one dies,
We all die.

We are one.

Alone in the dark

Hey Russell! I just came from critical analysis, where I threw myself to the wolves on your behalf! lol! I thought your poem was incredible the way it was, and couldn't imagine it being any different. Now, I read this version, and I'm blown away again. You have a unique style that's refreshing to come by.I'll be looking to read more from you
