Basking In The Spotlight Of Obscurity Poem by Kyle Schlicher

This is where I belong.
I function
much better
in the darkness,
the background.

To be an unknown entity
seeking only the silence
of the empty stage.
This is my destiny.

My hunger
has been sated
by years of failure,
rejection.

To constantly blend into
the background
takes undeniable
levels of skill.

I am the invisible man
without
a formula to return myself
to the material state
of being.

My ego has been stripped
of impurity.
I am
where I belong
basking in the spotlight of obscurity.
