Hiding in plain sight

A soul blending into a crowd

Reaching out — crying aloud

Screaming so loud but no one else hears a sound

Breaking from existence

A soul seeping into the endlessness of eternity

Undeservedly

Lonely — I can see the pain in your dull eyes

Souls need ties

To keep from flying away

So stay

You let their words take you — break you

Tie a string around your neck

So I'll tell you:

I see the light in your chest

Your story isn't over yet

Even a ghost can have something

Worthy enough to protect
