In My Place

Riding on a wave of misery and pain- Is like trying to find sunshine in the rain. Falling from a monument dedicated to the dead- I feel like no one's heard anything I've said. Sorrow follows me, like some lost little dog- As I traverse through life, as in a thick fog. So if you see me, with no smile upon my sullen face- Remember, if not for good luck, you'd be in my place.
