Down Below

Siting at a table People look at me Looking at this figure They only see. They don't care What's down below They see me But they don't know. They didn't know What they did But it's clear to me: I just look big. Anybody there? Oh, now they've left Left me with blankness Blank from theft. So what is now? To continually go? As nothing had happened? No, I will know. They thought they knew They thought they saw But it was not The truth below. Nobody will bother Nobody will see All that blankness Left inside me.
