UN-NOTICED

You make a symbol
For the whole world to see
But the sculpture you make
Pries it's way inside me

Seeing faces under no control
But underneath the world
The face I see stares back at me
Insisting I'm the same

I could never be enought, I know
I'm something nobody would see
As you pass me by, I wish that I
Was something that isn't me

I'm always me, unrecognised
So carefully content
Today I want to be another
So you might notice me

The place I'm in could not be right
Couldn't be the place to be
With all this beauty surrounding
How much more out of place could I be

I say what I think is
What I want to say
The world has changed
It makes things hard
Fo anyone like me
There's no-one else like me

The face on the ground is all I can be

Another thing fo you to just pass by
Why should I be acknowledged
I look strange
I look as though I don't belong
I lok the same

You're so elegant, but I'm the face of a brick
Underneath the rest
It could all fall down around me
There'd still be an image
One of you, one of me
So much contradiction of fate
We will never cross
Abstraction makes up me
