Where Are You?
I ask myself where I have been
I don't know if I have been in a dream
Or if I have been somewhere else
People say that you can control you dreams
If that is true, I vote for somewhere else
I often see images of greener pastures
Sometimes those images seem so far away
Sometimes they seem so close
Up and down, is the way I live my life
When I am up, I feel down
When I am down, I feel even lower
Day to day I don't know who I am looking at
I look at the mirror and wonder where I am
I wonder what I am doing, and how I feel
The numbness is always there
But I don't always feel it,
I have things that take priority over that,
Then I will have times with nothing
Nothing to fill my time....
THAT is when I ask, Where are you?
