Dot That Will Fade

by Jason Rainey   Jan 24, 2013


I always was a little cynical man
I've never known the better half that I am
I bake my cake and eat as fast as I can
So no one else can steal the stuff from my hands
And where do I wind up when it's all done and played
No one has me in their memory to stay
But what the hell just who am I anyway
I'm just a speck
I'm a dot that will fade
Yes
I'm a dot that will fade.

    Thank you. I will say, this is an older poem and I don't currently feel this way but I did when I wrote it. It's always been one of my favorites and is on my album. I did censor the S word with the word "stuff"' because I feel more people will read it as I believe a lot of people could possibly relate to it.

    Wow, this was really interesting, it shows a bit of how you view yourself and how unimportant you feel that you are. To me, I got a glimpse of perhaps not been given the right things in life that you needed, I got this idea from this line:

    I bake my cake and eat as fast as I can
    So no one else can steal the stuff from my hands

    - It reminded me of a foster child who has not been given much food in their life and so when they get offered food they eat it so fast in fear that it will be taken away again. It is like they do not trust life and the good things it offers.

    I like the relation of you being a dot, a dot is so small and tiny, which is how you feel in yourself. But in language a dot is so very important, reading would be near impossible without them.

    Good job.
