non-existence

i'm a shadow in the dark
practically non-existent,
save the light from a flickering
lamp revealing my presence

was my life a continual step to an
eternity of mixed up emotions
How could it be called forever
when all sense of time is lost

i'm a shadow in the dark
practically non-existent,
just a spirit silhoutted by
a broken street lamp.

no one hears me
no one sees me
no one makes sense
of what i say
especially me.

    Reading this twice

    I appreciate this poem even more the second time.

    The lines: "How could it be called forever
    when all sense of time is lost" ask a very philosophical question.

    I reallly see your imagery better. I'm glad I came across it again!

    Amazing

    This reminds of my own personal experiences. The shadow in the dark is not alone. Your choice of words are excellent and you have a good flow. I love your imagery and the metaphor. It's so amazing, I have nothing more to say.
