The Footsteps he Left Behind

He was invisible
Nobody ever saw him
He went where ever he wanted
Whenever he wanted
He didn’t have a care in the world
Except for to not be seen
By this cruel place we call earth

People have heard about this phenomenon
But they have never seen him
Only his footsteps he left behind
They don’t know how he came to be
Or who he was before
For he is never visible
He will never reveal himself to anyone

He walks around the world
Watching people go about their lives
With all their problems
He watches
Almost wishing he could help
But he doesn’t
They chose their lives
And he chose his
He chose to be invisible
With nothing to be traced to him
But the footsteps he left behind

Sometimes he wishes he were like them
Visible with friends and family
He must be isolated from everybody
His voice isn’t heard
Even if he yells at the top of his lungs
Should he have thought about his decision
Before he made it
But he can’t dwell on that now
So he starts to walk
Leaving nothing but footprints behind
