A Ghost

Am I now a ghost

in people’s lives,

they have heard of me

but haven’t seen me

with their own eyes.

I might pass

them in the street

but they don’t notice

as I avert my eyes

and look at my feet.

Stories of my demise

may be exaggerated

based on information

that they do not

know is outdated.

For I have finally

found the real me

and I don’t care

that it’s not a person

that everyone can see.
