All Around.

Amidst the trees
there is me
in the camouflage
of pale light
behind bright stars

This my role
a story kept secret
a life untold
that winners be looked upon
with even more glory

I have little won
and little lost had I
in the middle ground
is often where I find myself
unwittingly

Neither deemed brilliant
nor deemed too outcast
unexisting at worst
and mediocre at best
by no intention of mine

Though I try to improve
but I am wired to disguise
I dislike too bright a limelight
but I do appreciate appreciation

I do wonder
Had I done nothing to the benefit of others
Had all I done in life
Not helped anyone

And I do wonder
not that I considered to do
but I do wonder
if anyone would realize
if I was ever to be gone

Or maybe subconscious to them
who perhaps are called my friends
I was already long gone
just as soon as we have acquainted

Who is there to care?
None have dropped a sign to show
they ever think of me

And then I wonder
if they experience the same
if they feel the same
Though some I have tried to reach

What a life we live

Still a sign to me
to be a better companion
Though assigned to me
to live in least comparison

It is alright, my friend
This too, is well
with my soul.
