Ghost

A ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or non-human animal that is believed to be able to appear to the living.
Ghosts are often associated with haunting, which is the manifestation of an unwanted presence or energy on a person, place, or object.
Ghosts can have different forms and appearances, from invisible to translucent to realistic.
Some people believe that ghosts are trapped in the physical world because of unfinished business, trauma, or guilt.
Others think that ghosts are simply echoes of the past that can be seen or heard under certain conditions.

They linger in the shadows
Of the places they once knew
They whisper in the silence
Of the things they used to do

They drift among the living
But they never seem to stay
They vanish in the sunlight
Or when someone looks their way

They yearn for some connection
But they cannot touch or feel
They suffer from rejection
But they cannot heal

They are the lost and lonely
The forgotten and the gone
They are the ghosts that haunt us
But they also make us strong

For they remind us of our lives
Of our joys and sorrows too
They remind us of our love
And the things we have to do.
