Vanishing Act by Evan D'Asero (me) Have you ever walked Onto a crowded city street To join in the symphony Of an army of marching feet And a thousand faces go by Without a worry or care In fact, it's almost as if They don't even know you're there Have you ever sat Slumped over at your desk With burning pain in your heart Like embers in your chest Because the people around you So content with their own lives Fail to see your torment And your most hurtful strife? This world can be So cruel and empty at times Sometimes, it would seem You could vanish from its eyes You can walk onto a battlefield As gunfire ignites the dark sky And hidden soldiers sneak away To end someone else's life But no matter where you are With bullets flying all around Not one will seek you out To bury you in the ground You can walk into the sea And sink in the ocean blue But even the fish Won't care to notice you You'll be a mirage to their eyes An illusion of the sun And you'll start to ask yourself: Is there anyone? Is there anyone who cares About the lonely girl in the park There's innocence in her eyes But a hole inside her heart Is there anyone who cares About the dishonored son Who, in place of a degree Holds a bottle and a gun? It's hard to rise When you only know to fall In fact, at times We want to end it all It's hard to live Without a place to call home For the coldest road of all Is the one I walk alone Edited by ZeroDarkFlirty, Jan 24 2013, 09:24 PM.

@Quentyn: If we ever see each other at meetings, a "nice job" will be more than sufficient
