Like an ash

I sit and watch the smoke rise

Flip the ash and watch it float

Into oblivion it goes

Not knowing where it wanders

It rises and falls

Dances, to it's own rhythm

Dances to a different drum

Careless to the world

It drifts till it lands

Lands in some unknown field

It's foreign to the ash

In a vast world the ash it sits

So confused it waits to die



All day I sit and wait

Waiting until the inevitable

I wander around not knowing

Where I am going to land

I do not know until that day

Exceeding and Failing each day

I blindly lead myself into life

I will eventually find my way

Find my niche in this society

The niche is where I will die

Die alone in a place of grief

Sit alone and deteriorate slowly

Distressed in my niche I will die

Ever just sit and watch the ashes you flick from a cigarette...?
