The Cracks

Little by little I fall through the cracks

With no one to help me get out

I'm truly mundane alone in my pain

With no one to hear when I shout

A shadow's shadow an illusion a best

A memory that fades like the breeze

Hidden from view that nobody knew

I'm nothing that nobody sees

They gave me a name that they never use

I don't even know who I am

They made me this way I'm sorry to say

They've proven they don't give a damn

When I look in the mirror the reflection is gone

I can't even describe all my pain

My body survives my heartache still thrives

But my spirit is only a stain

Little by little I fall through the cracks

And I'm starting to disappear

For it won't be too long before I am gone

Just like I was not even here
