Lara W.A - How to Disappear Completely (my version)

2014-06-13 8

(A tribute to Radiohead - thank you for teaching me this mantra)

Sick of routines,
So I,
I don’t exist,
No,
The girl you’re talking to,
That ain’t me,
I’m not here,
My ears are stuffed with layers of cotton,
Not hearing a thing.

I don’t exist,
This isn’t real,
No,
You’re not hurting me,
I jump into the movie screen,
I merge with the evaporated air,
Not here, not here.

Bombs,
Explosions,
Bad-mouthings,
I’m not witnessing.
Lachrymosity;
That’s not me feeling,
I penetrate through cells,
I unite with shadows on the wall.

I walk invisibly,
Through cars on mad streets.
Politics,
Agendas,
Shut the noise,
I’m not listening;
You can’t make me.

I bury myself 11 feet below the ground,
I don’t wake up from my dream,
I’m not here,
I’m not here,
This isn’t happening…
