Free me
Of the countless gazes,
That make my life
A maze of mazes
I need an existence
That is opaque, obscure
And yet a life that is
Transparent and pure
No one to ask
Where and how I've been
So that I can glide through the lanes
Unnoticed, unseen
No complaints, no expectations,
No praises, no worth
I want to be a flowing
Dark patch on the Earth
You'll walk all over me
But it'll cause me no pain
Your efforts to hurt me
Will all go in vain
Move the weight of visibility
Off my chest
Leave me the shadow
And take the rest.
