I lie on the fringes
Of human engagement
Watching in silence –
Unobserved, invisible

Maniacally have I
yearned too to be sucked into
This massive human factory
Of love, lust, attachment, – Illusion
Yet I touch and rebound
From the core of life
Catapulted back to where I started each time
By quirks of fate
Confused if I should be happy or sad
That I stay outside
Never engaging
Living a half life
