invisible (I maybe)

I maybe should have been 

extremely into heroin

then maybe somebody

would have paid attention to me

I maybe should have known

this world ain't my home

it's something maybe someone

should have mentioned to me

but here I am

too many words

too many nights

feeling disturbed

from what I see

what I observe

I'm invisible

I maybe should have seen

that as a human being

this world ain't made for me

it belongs to someone else

I maybe should have learned

hope only gets you burned

standing too close to the flame

I've discovered inside myself

but here I am

too many thoughts

torture my soul

more often than not

all that I have

is all that I got

I'm invisible

I maybe should have asked

for help with this task

for all my ten-cent words

I can't do this alone

I maybe should have seen

there ain't no in between

just wrong directions

on my journey back home

and here I am

too many dreams

and I am poor

no man of means

am I a man

or am I a machine

I'm invisible
