    The Ghost of Me

    As I asleep, I had a dream that wasn't quite right
    Things were not so smooth, was a long night.
    The dream that I had was unusually strange
    I dreamt of life beyond, it's time for a change.
    I walk around silent, not making a sound
    Not hearing a peep, not a soul stirring around.
    My feet never touch ground, my float is on thin air
    I tap on your shoulder, disappear like I was never there.
    I disappear like the wind, easily blown away
    I can come back but 3 words you know you gotta say.
    I say these words with such fire and such fury
    I was found guilty and executed by my peers in a jury.
    The pain, I can take, the outcome was light
    If you think this is wrong, me being "Ghost" is alright.
    I carry my chains wrapped around me for the sins I cast
    I'm paying for mistakes that molded my uncertain past.
    Things seem funny, people can be cruel to the touch
    Having life as a lost soul can be as bit too much.
    My heart feeling heavy, my feet are light as can be
    I guess that's what goes on beyond "The Ghost of Me".

    Edward Orlando Griffin

    great poem, really love it..

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
