Nobody Special - SCP Foundation

I woke late this morning

in a dark and dizzy daze

I looked into the mirror

and a stranger met my gaze

I fear with every day that I’m

forgetting more and more

But how can I compare?

I can’t remember from before

Each day another stranger

claims to be my friend or foe

I’m forced to make hard choices

based on things that I don’t know

My anonymity protects

and hides me all the same

They wish to know my purpose;

I just want to know my name

With every step I take I change

the world before my eyes

I know now my mundanity

is not just a disguise

I wonder if it’s better to

keep known or disappear;

If failing memory should not

remain my greatest fear

If I should die tomorrow, though,

I simply wouldn't care

Content to be forgotten

as the man who wasn’t there
