My Ego is Bigger than Your Ego's blog: "Something I wrote"

I stand before you naked and unfettered Bared of all traces of humanity Looking out amongst you all Trying to find a kindred soul Someone even remotely like me I have felt so alone for such a long time But now I have finally seen the light That I am just one A singular entity Without an ounce of what make what you are I'm outside looking in An obselete or a completely new man Adrift in my own existence Never knowing peace or safety Constantly in fear of being found So different and so utterly lost I know I am not less than you But cannot say I am more I fear discovery I despise anonymity Longing to be known Yet shielding myself The things you feel I do not Hope and faith are something I do not need Compassion and kindness, just words Anger and hate, no more than abstract thought I notice the gap between who and what I was And from what I am becoming Next in the evoltuionary chain? Or a throwback to the distant past? I'm not part of you Yet I'm not apart Your wants and desires hold no interest for me Dreams are no more thatn idle thoughts Passions less than demanding Thought seems to be my release A neverending line Leading me into the unknown Where I will find my self on a new horizon Or on a path to certain extinction

Honor Standing alone in the face of darkness A lone sentry against mayhem and chaos You silently hold your post every time Never asking for thanks or any due We look over and beyond you Taking you for granted so often You know this yet your soul stays pure A guard against all the filth and hate We will never tell you enough How much it means to us all For the endless years you have stood A force holding back the tide of madness Protecting and shielding us from so much I will write this to truly say Thank you so much from the depth of our hearts For all that you do day in and day out You are in all our hopes and prayers May you be safe and free from harm To always come home to those you love Be wrapped in their loving embrace Never letting them know whatever you face But realize although we may not know We are eternally grateful And can never repay for The things you have done And the things you have seen But we love you all for being as brave as you are Copyright ©2007 LeRoy Diederich
