Standing on the outside
looking in
hands holding strings
making moves
watching
but
not participating
day in
day out
nights blending
into
each other
on and on
it goes
on and on
this life
flows
never ending
never ceasing
movements weakening
one by one
they disappeared
now alone
standing on the outside
looking in
fading
away
