People see me
But they don't look
I'm the cover
Of a boring book
People take
But they don't give
I survive
But I don't live
I'm a vessel
For others needs
I gain weight
Through good deeds
I wish I could
Just disappear
Like a pane of glass
Solid, but clear
My life, it seems
Should be for others
Or I will remain
Undiscovered.

I hope your silence isn't an indication of disinterest because I fired up the studio and made a surprising amount of progress in just a couple hours. I'm even more excited about the song than I was before!

This is great. It inspired a somber melody that pretty much poured out in one piece. Do you mind if I post it?

I really like the contrast of the less than perfect rhyme in the last stanza. As I read it that gave more emphasis and conveyed the feelings of the narrator.

That’s really powerful. I particularly like “I’m a vessel for other needs…” thank you for sharing!
