The more I see the less I know
I have become a familiar stranger
to swim in a sea of disunity 
and to muddy the water
in hopes that it will appear deeper
only to plunge into its depths 
until it is all that I can see
I am someone who has become no one
still I search myself with futility 
I am dead but dreaming
still I walk beside myself 
but when I reach beside me I slip
I cannot be held
even so far away
