Pause and inhale in deep
For pain pours through my barren soul
As my heart truly weeps
I see your words that care for me
But I'm unable to
Sometimes laugh and smile brightly
For I'm beyond just blue
I gaze through foggy haze
Then I untie life's grisly rope
To live a few more days
All we are is dust in the wind
This fact you can relate
But when others spew with venom
I retaliate
Protecting my soft shell
That I may live respectfully
In loneliness I dwell
Though this is why, when others call
I become deaf and blind
Their desire for me to fall
Is of an evil kind
But to thank those who love
Like the fun filled yesterdays
Today I'm dreaming of
I live by one word at a time
For my soul to express
This message in my vivid rhyme
Still seeps of loneliness
