i’m the great no one
the empty suit
and clown make up
waving at happy people
from the side of the road
the great mistake
the punchline
to a joke left untold
failing at being a failure
just another unsigned portrait
left unsold
at the neighborhood
rummage sale
become a ghost
in my own shell of a life
fading into nothing
the forgotten
imaginary friend
still hiding
waiting
for you to go seek
