Disappearing Act

Now you see me

But I wish you wouldn’t

My heart is heavy

And my soul

Screams out

My mind wanders

Like a lost spirit

Looking to find their

Way to the light

If only just around

The corner...

Now you see me

But I wish you wouldn’t

Please just let

Me disappear

In this act

Of an illusion

I call myself

Will you please just look away?

Now you see me

But I wish you wouldn’t

When the weight

Of the world

Knocks me down

I’d like to

Fast forward

Fade away

If only for the moment

If only from myself

But like any

Vanishing act

As Illusive

As it may seem

I will eventually

Find my way

To the light

If only just around

The corner...

Now you see me.
