Revelation

The things that really matter in life are always the things we fail to see.
Often, I feel as though the more I age, the less they remain a part of me.
I walk through these things, everyday of course,
Succeeding in simply passing them by
As though they had never existed (a perfect example of a lie).
Just kept pushing them out of my way
Without fear, or emotion, or even a sigh.
You see,
I wanted them to kill me
Because, I wanted it to die.
And so I faked it then, I won’t fake it now
Though I’ve been faking it all of my life,
Until the day these things had decided to overlook me
Slicing me with its knife.
My smile cut in half
My face falling off
I couldn’t get up off the floor
And so I just sat
And began to cry
As though it had never rained before.
Since I didn’t get what I deserved
They chose to give me much more.
You see, I hated myself
And you would have hated me too
If you knew what I know
That I knew what you knew.
Without all of these things that keep you alive
You end up a statistic, or a suit,
Or even the cause of the effect that these things
Have had on you.
And although you’ve danced with all of these things
One million times before
The reason why they cease to remember you
Is the same reason you choose to ignore.
But I’m tired, so tired
Of trying to forget
These things I can no longer see
And so I feel that I won’t mind if
One day, they fade away
So long as they don’t forget me.
