I'm nothing to the world
Meaningless and worthless
Just another human being
With nothing special at all
A face in the crowd
Nobody notices
Another stanger
People won't remember
Anonymous I am
That won't change
Quickly forgotten I'll be
That's my sad destiny
Meaningless and worthless
Just another human being
With nothing special at all
A face in the crowd
Nobody notices
Another stanger
People won't remember
Anonymous I am
That won't change
Quickly forgotten I'll be
That's my sad destiny

Insomnia
There's a party in my head
As I close my eyes to sleep.
Little creatures and monsters,
Oh, back and forth they creep.
On silent tip-toes they walk,
Playing melodies in my mind.
Finding caverns I have closed,
Putting my life on rewind.
My mind is somewhere else,
But in vain I toss and turn.
Little goblins man the lights,
And the ghosts try to learn.
It's all a big, loud, unruly mess,
This untamed party in my head.
I try and shut them down,
But back and forth they tread.
I'm never going to get any sleep
As long as they're awake.
They take my tired thoughts
Down every path they can take.
Oh, what would I give to have
One silent and sle

Dear Death
I sink my knees
into the sodden dirt
surrounding the grave
of a human long gone
I touch the stone's
chiseled cursive words
and trace the letters:
how gelid they've become
I stare at the flowers
that people have left;
upon the plot,
ham-handedly chopped
And I contemplate
my inevitable death
hoping no flowers are left
for the message they possess
"I'm trading life for death."

Numb
Block the sun,
And we all will surely die.
Block the heart,
And we will surely be numb.
The heart and mind,
Connected through all,
Should the link break,
All will fall.
Numb is a heart blocked by a wall,
Numb is a mind that thoughts effect not at all,
Numb is a body that has no soul.
Numb is the world who is blind to it all.

We all feel this way sometimes; and I like how you wrote it.
And I recently realized we won't be remembered for our accomplishments most likely... but how we treated those around us. So I try to care how I'd want others to care for me.
P.S. truly I can walk into a party or in the room with two other people and not get noticed for awhile; and I was at an all day event and wasn't noticed by a friend for the first 6 hours. It happens. But instead of feeling negative about it... I just say I'm training my ninja skills.
