Obscurity

You look at me

But don't see the tears

You hear me speak

But don't understand

I live on my own

Though you are near

I'm clinging to a raft

While you're on dry land

I don't know why

We don't see the same

I don't know why

We can't agree

You mock my ideals

Make fun of my pain

I retreat once again

Into obscurity

It's hard to pretend

That it's of no importance

When you make me feel

Like a tiny ant

I shouldn't be bothered

By your indifference

I need to let it go

But find that I can't.
