A Fly On The Wall
I thought it was as close to people as I could get; locker rooms, forbidden gossip. The few friends I told called me invisible. In their asylums, they’d call me a paranoid delusion. I don’t blame them. How many times can you trust the shadows until your sanity breaks? I was always ready for the power. You can’t scale an endless horizon without dethroning the king in the clouds. I never realized it came at the price of loneliness. And we wonder why God listens to the murmurs of mice. I stopped praying to God the first time I walked into a 7-11 and walked off with a fistful of cash. These days I just send him my condolences. I’m a fly on the wall and the walls are closing in.
