I'm not

 

Time it comes again

 

  it swings around

 

I guess that’s the plan

 

  I guess that’s the way

 

day after day

 

  just slips away

 

then comes again

 

  into the fray

 

I drift away

 

 why would I stay

 

before I go

 

 I have this to say

 

 

 

I wish that I was innocent

 

but I'm not

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

I wish that I could stand immobile

 

unseen, unsung

 

inept but noble

 

void of thought

 

and void of feeling

 

never acting

 

simply being

 

eyeless, mindless

 

locked yet bind less

 

 

 

rock under deep water

 

but I'm not

 

 

 

So

 

 

 

instead I want to fall forever

 

spaceman severed from his tether

 

set adrift and free from binding

 

never stopping

 

never finding

 

 

lost in inky blackness

but I'm not
