A PASSING SHADOW

A PASSING SHADOW

NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR MY STORYΒ 
ITS SIMPLE AND BORING.

ITS NOT A LIFE OF EXCITEMENTΒ 
FILLED WITH VACATION HIGHLIGHTS,
FAMILY FUN, PICNICS, BROADWAY PLAYS
OR TICKETS TO MUSICAL PERFORMANCES.

ITS JUST SIMPLE AND BORING.

THE MOST NOISE I HAVE EVER MADE,
WAS WHEN I WERE BORN..
OR SO I WAS TOLD.

AND THE DOCTOR HAD TH SLAP ME TWICEΒ 
TO GET MY ATTENTION…

AND SO I ENTERED THIS WORLD IN TEARS,
LIVED WITH HEARTACHES, PAINSΒ 
AND CONSTANT FEARS..

AND LIKE A FACELESS SHADOWΒ 
I WILL ONE DAYΒ 
BE TOTALLY FORGOTTENΒ 
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE GRAVE.

NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR MY STORY,
SO IT SHALL DIE WITH ME,
THE LIFE OF A PASSING SHADOW..
A BLUR OF A MAN
WITHOUT A LEGACY.

WILFORD BARKER.

It is sad that we are forgotten eventually,Β  tied to this earth in endless karma for our sins. I'll never understand.Β
