  • The ghost

    You are surrounded by so many people. So many great people but you don't talk to anybody, you're just there... floating side by side with life. You should be happy you share this wonderful life with so many but they have someone to share it with. You're just a bystander, you're just a lonely looker in, living through the happiness of others. You've wasted your time trying to make friends and in the end you notice you have none. You excited run to tell everybody of news and happiness and you go one by one to your friends and when you open your mouth with news they disappear, they were never there. You wonder what you do wrong and how to repel people but there is no explanation, it's just easier to pretend another doesn't exist when they don't affect you directly. You go on with life, sometimes people wonder about you in a memory a distant dream but never enough to care and find you ... just like "Oh, I wonder what happened to so and so?" ... and that mention is gone with the wind. People possess power, unexplained energy but with power comes responsibility and no one has control. The world has become too caring of themselves but it's ok at least you have personal responsibility. As for your friend, he/she will be fine... a lonely wanderer just trying to find the place they fit. They probably wont, though, they never have. They're just a ghost...people never see you, they pretend to but all they felt was your energy and dismiss it. Everybody will always see through you, you're not real, you never existed. If you're lucky someone will.

    People find themselves and define themselves... but you're just lost in the confusion of being. How ARE you? and you never answer that honestly because there aren't answers to answer such a complicated question. In that early stage, being a teleprompter, you have to answer with the basics and most say "good" anyways when it's not true. But, who needs to push it someone finally cared enough to ask OR they were being courteous which ever by now you've learn what people just want to hear, "good", "I'm fine" etc they don't want to go into deep conversation they just want an opportunity to tell you about theirs. And you care, you care a lot until you realize that they don't care about you. They just needed a disposable friend someone to dump their troubles and keep going.

    You just float, hoping that your ghost isn't completely unnoticed ...

    You're brighten like the sun, come alive with laughter and a smile.

    But,smiles are such a rarity that it might as well rain everyday because regardless you have no shelter. You're just a few steps away from reaching out that you fall into the depths of darkness before you reach at that hand trying to get you out...you lose and don't want to.

    The smile brightens you and brings color and life but you're colorblind you can't see it... all you see is black. You don't want to be blind, you wanna see but who guides a blind person when they're blind themselves? 

    How can your ghost become real and not just the illusion everybody pretends not to see? We want you to be you but most would only care if you were 10 yrs younger or feel you're more mature being 10 yrs older. You're stuck in between realms part of you in and the other part of you out...There's no escape, you're trapped. You can't do it alone but you hope you can get to either side, at this point that would be an accomplishment.

  • omg! i hate it when I ask how r u? and my friends respond with "eh im ok" "good n you" after that i tend to respond with "yea thats great but how r u really?" =]

    lilked this post...

    as to the blind person imagery...

    one can only help guide the blind so far... the blind must learn to readjust and move forward with the rest of their senses...and they learn to see through their ears and touch and smell....

  • I'm just recently learning that those kind of conversations can be dementing ... people need to say how they feel and if that means shouting F*CK YEAH!!! then that's all good. But if they have some stuff to explain, let them get it out. Make yourself available and don't hurry people or ask them those types of superficial questions, and you'll get to know who they really are.

  • Wonderful...I'm a ghost like this.  rofl  It isn't too bad.  It was at first, but I've learned to live with it.

  • Great post.. I'm not like this but its nice to see ur point of view :P  

  • @Snoog420 - "How are you?" is one of those questions that people have been desensitized in life. They never respond and I have even blindly asked it all the time not caring because they never say the true the first response it either "I'm fine", "I'm alright".... so I give them dealing questions people don't budge to the fact that I care or well when they ask me depending on my mood I well intintively respond with the lame answer or cruely go into what's real. They asked they deserve the truth, lol, sometimes I feel I'm a little cruel but they should know better. 

    And you're right, the blind can only be guided so long and they should learn to use their other senses. Which might take some time but that is very good.... I didn't think of this.... :)
    @how2saveaplanet - The problem is people don't tell, where I'm talking is that we always ask and they go into their own realm, their own universe and don't bother to get our of it. It shouldn't be demeaning in you want to know, it just that  people don't get the question and just answer instinctively like a teleprompter with the given questions. 

    @GrimRpr000 - Thank you! =D

    @C_L_O_G - We all learn to live and adapt with what  we got. It's a part of life I suppose. :)

  • @pinktiger335 - We do. There is a lot to be said for being a semi invisible photographer.   

  • @theunknowndarkness1 - Hey, how are you? It's been a while! =D

    I know not many relate which is great though, they get to see how other's feel.Sometimes I feel like a ghost and other times I wish I was... lol it happens. 
    @C_L_O_G - haha, I know what you mean. I'm a music teacher and well where I work we had a small staff meeting of all the assitants to the director and I found out I was the only one who didn't get paid. Program is broke and I do a lot of volunteer. I don't do it for the money because there isn't any but some compensation would help being a single mom and all.
