Lines in Gray

I think it’s complicated but it shouldn’t be
Everybody thinks they’re extraordinary
Maybe ill just hide in anonymity
Just one out of the many
Finding comfort in not being heard nor seen
If it seems like I talk nonsense
It doesn’t matter
If all I do amounts to nothing
And it’s never enough
So be it
You say I am a fool to believe
That all the signs lead nowhere
Still I have hope
If my thoughts are incoherent
And my ideas outright insane
Call me a jester as I yell and profess blasphemy
I point an accusing finger at the mirror
Seeing not only myself
I want to make you see
Welcome you to my world
Walk this journey with me
It will take time
Perhaps a life time or more
But we will get there
Or at least die knowing we did our part
If what I say strikes a cord
Feel free to lash out and hit back
I’ll take it in stride
Reply with gladness
Thankful for your time
I’ll light a match in the darkness
Come and rage with me in silence
