ghost

I wandered this earth
like a ghost
faded, barely there,
unnoticed
passing over the world
letting it slip through me
powerless physically
but completely
and totally
free
 
a ghost
strange substance
a mind without matter
not bound by life's routines
or sicknesses and bodily needs
 
a ghost
misunderstood
on an earth polluted
crowds of hollow people
in empty human shells
pretty rotten souls
chasing temporary pleasures
and external sensations
blind inside, eyes wide
selfishly seeking
reaching only
a fleeting sweetness
oblivious
meaningless
 
I wandered this
hell
like a ghost
separated, overlooked
left alone to observe
isolated, invisible
nothing
but a ghost
escaping dirty eyes
accountable to no one
wandering free
entire being
set apart,
gifted
with peace
