Shadows

I've made myself a home of this empty house.
The cobb webs remain, but the spider has long gone.
Even my shadows have faded away.
I have become nobody in this world so alive.
But I ask myself, is that so bad?
I watch other people live a life I wish I had
It's not worth the pain they go through to have a name know
To the world so glad.
Fake smiles they show, but I'm still alone
But I ask myself, is that so bad?
I stare at the dust upon these old, broken windows.
I see the shattered reflection of a nobody
Lost in the remains of once a somebody.
How can I tell that I am a nobody?
I have no one. Nothing but the shadows of vacant memories.
But even shadows become smaller and fade away.
The cobb webs remain but the spider has long gone.
There is nothing left, but I, a nobody.
But I ask myself, is that so bad?
