Haunted Not Haunting

They've got my legacy all wrong.
I'm mis-represented,
And mistaken as an entity.

Red Rorschach blots on the walls
Doesn't mean you can read my mind;
Just see it.
It doesn't mean I am still there,
But was...

Was being the key word
Which keeps me in bed.
How dare they think I stick around,
When I could live instead.

I am not a ghost,
Just because I am dead.
