    The Ghost of Me

    As I asleep, I had a dream that wasn't quite right
    Things were not so smooth, was a long night.
    The dream that I had was unusually strange
    I dreamt of life beyond, it's time for a change.
    I walk around silent, not making a sound
    Not hearing a peep, not a soul stirring around.
    My feet never touch ground, my float is on thin air
    I tap on your shoulder, disappear like I was never there.
    I disappear like the wind, easily blown away
    I can come back but 3 words you know you gotta say.
    I say these words with such fire and such fury
    I was found guilty and executed by my peers in a jury.
    The pain, I can take, the outcome was light
    If you think this is wrong, me being "Ghost" is alright.
    I carry my chains wrapped around me for the sins I cast
    I'm paying for mistakes that molded my uncertain past.
    Things seem funny, people can be cruel to the touch
    Having life as a lost soul can be as bit too much.
    My heart feeling heavy, my feet are light as can be
    I guess that's what goes on beyond "The Ghost of Me".

    great poem, really love it..

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
