Unseen

Funny, the joke’s on me.

Caught up in someone else’s story,

I thought you wouldn’t see.

Binging on parodies of reality

like they were some great allegory.

Funny, the joke’s on me.

I forgot to be discreet.

Elevated past my worries,

I thought you wouldn’t see.

Believed my anonymity, 

foolishly, I set my story free.

Funny, the joke’s on me.

Victim of my own greed,

my dreams of fame and of glory,

I thought you wouldn’t see.

Nothing can set me free,

I must wait in purgatory.

Funny, the joke’s on me,

I thought you wouldn’t see.
