Poles apart

Sirens screaming out my name
Beckoning me to my death, my failure
Winds whisper threatening harsh words
Pushing me into the deep red flame

Burning my insides to the core
The flames consume my soul
It flies from my being
Now I am no more

Lay bleeding on the ground
Thick hot blood pouring out wounds
Tainting the purity it once was
My body won't be found

Searching far and wide
For what I once was
Stirring the river bottoms
But there I don't hide

Hide and go seek
Is what this game is like
You look for me but I'm too good
The prospect seems very bleak

You give up on me
That's okay,
I don't want to be found
I wanted to flee

Run from this mundane place
In plain black and white
All the same
I didn't want to be another face

I wanted to be different
Different from the "normal" and the "eccentric"
From the "weird" and the "odd"
I'd rather just be absent
