If you think it’s hard to be known

then try to be unknown sometime. 

Reclusion from the roads you have crossed, from the people you act like you care too much…from the nights you have waited only to get the hallucinations done right. 

Nameless, without the burden of handshakes. 

Instead of merging things and beings…try to separate them sometimes…

You will see the elusive crossroads where you can’t be invisible and dance with the beats of population. 

There’s only one way. 

Try being unknown to yourself, 

it’s the same, well almost same. 

Sometimes to be a distant Northstar you don’t need to sail away from your near companions, 

distance from your own self will do the same. 

You still don’t know the worth of this war.
