Fading Away Before Them

Slowly coming to the end of the game

Walking among the living but not one of them sees

Since finding the truth of the mystery, nothings the same

Soon to be blown into the ether in a wild earthly breeze

---

Nothing works the way it should

No solace for those tortured soul be found

Never seeing the hands from even those who could

Saddly trying to be in a harsh world, to stick around

---

Set the bar as high as you envision you can jump

Still a soldiering type resting deep inside

Ending up feeling like the world's pathetic chump

Slowly to disappear and not have to ever again hide

---

The disappearing man

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
