Vanished

Have you ever felt you don’t exist?

That’s how I feel most of the time 

Like if you tried to grab my wrist

Your hand would pass right through 

And in your mind a thought would chime

What happened to the man I knew?

I just can’t seem to force my heart

To buy the perpetual lie,

I'll never populate the chart

Compiled by those overlords

Who pick apart data to try 

To dominate the hordes,

And I certainly won’t ever wear

A label upon my lapel,

So, am I really there,

Is obstinance a remedy for rue?

I ponder in my private hell

What happened to the man I knew?
