Light of Day

Light Of Day
I am brought into the corner of infinity
I was not participating in their dance
I'm being punished for my incredulity
I'm forgotten in the celebrated trance
Spiteful exuberance needs no reason
Watchful remembrance needs no rhyme
Soulful continuance has no limits
Only a scattering in time
I am counting backwards towards uncertainty
I do anything I can to stay awake
I am disregarded by the whole community
I am living in a way they can not take
I was once a frightful beggar seeking paradise
All the gray has come to claim me for its own
As I wander I collect despair and misery
Until finally there is nothing to postpone
Every smile mocks the solitude that I condemn
Every gesture leaves a trace of lasting scorn
In my way I am reflecting all that's wrong with them
And my stubbornness revives me though I'm worn
I am introduced to someone who resembles me
I don't recognize me in the light of day
I am learning to believe in things I'll never see
And remember things that take your breath away
