Faceless

A Poem by Mika =^-^=

Walking alone glancing around, facing the world

I see stillness in people's faces
glancing forward with no expression in their eyes

the lifeless movements they make

almost seems like it's all fake.

The sunlight doesn't feel warm anymore
it seems like everything has grown cold

the agonizing pain left in the air

seems to be ignored by everyone.

If we look up at the sky
and we see the same stars
why are we not living in the same world?

the truth is, you have been fed too many lies
nothing seems real,

everyone seems to be under someone's control.

Thinking freely, is that wrong?

I get a hunch, that everything is a lie
standing still looking out at the world
is every movement been premeditated?

something tells me even my thoughts
were created by someone else.

If I extend my hand out to the sky
would you explain to me what is life?

in this world that's slowly rusting
I can't even trust my words or thoughts

if I'm like you, then why I'm not lifeless?

As a new day begins and I open my eyes
all the tears I shed have been erased
my movements not longer are mine
am I becoming one of them?
as much as I struggle to fight this
every ounce of strength I had leaves my body.

I close my eyes
and think back how it felt to be alive
I regain my strength and begin to fight it
I don't want to be one of them
if I have to live like an outcast

I rather be the odd one,
than become another doll.

If we look up at the sky
and we see the same stars
why are we not living in the same world?

the truth is, you have been fed too many lies
nothing seems real,

everyone seems to be under someone's control.

If I extend my hand out to the sky
would you explain to me what is life?

in this world that's slowly rusting
I can't even trust my words or thoughts

if I'm like you, then why I'm not lifeless?

I'm not someone's doll.
