Behind The Glass – Written February 2009 (Aged 33)

Behind The Glass

i wonder what it means
to see such expectant faces
trying to find insurmountable dreams
but i am not part of this
i am behind the glass
waiting in the wings
i am not prepared to take part
but for some i am connected
and i am connected above all others
these days i only find out
from the double layer of my covers
people pretend to me
pretend they are something they are not
trying to hide who they are
but it remains so obvious
you never have to look too far
i just look on at the world
and all the people contained within




James Garratt – February 2009
