Wandering alone
Through the back streets and alleyways of this town,
Thinking about all the things that have got me down.
Especially the things going on right now.
There's lots that I just don't want to know.
Anymore.
'Cause this life,
It seems to be
Just one big empty dream to me.
Filled with empty thoughts, pain and strife,
That I live every day of my life
Through the shards of a broken mirror
Called time.
I feel like my life is just an empty page
Ripped from a book that's been dusted with age.
The things I do, the things I say,
All get twisted and turned against me
These days.
There's nothing here anymore.
Just rubbish heaped upon a dusty floor in piles.
Discarded words, hollow thoughts and vacant smiles
To feel such emptiness and pain,
I'm dying inside.
I don't even know why
I'm still alive.
Anymore.
Yes, I'm having one of those days.
I just wish it would all fade away.
Along with this empty dream that keeps floating around inside my head.
Sometimes making me wish I were dead.
Right now, my mind's a little hazy
And my life seems so crazy.
I just don't know.
No, I just don't know.
Anymore.
Author notes
Take it for what it is... the sad remains of my life. I just don't know... anymore.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate it.
I was just having a bad day and your contest came along... so I got to express my feelings. Sad feelings they were indeed. I write about lots of things from my life. Things that have happened to me and I write about my family and many friends. My special friends and angels as I call them. Thanks again.
