A Part of the Scenery

Everyday I see my friends just walking, laughing, springing;
Like they're floating about the clouds
Waiting to jump down,
But they don't know
What it's like down there.

Shifting in and out of view, I'm just part of the scenery:
Unnoticed as I watch them all
Enjoying their lives,
Wishing I was a part of that too.

When I go missing, it's never noticed.
Life goes on, not stopping for anyone
Making zero acceptions to its rule;
But once,
just once,
I want it to stop for me.

My dreams take me places I've never been
Yet even there, I'm still the background;
an insignificant object;
Just a part of the scenery.

  1. Lies!!! You're not insignificant, you're not just part of the scenery, you're not an OBJECT.

    And of course life doesn't stop for anyone! xD Not Obama, not my goldfish, not me or you. It's fairer that way... (I know fairer isn't a work.. :P)

    And not everyone's on cloud nine all the time. It's not just you. :]
