You Don'T Know What To Think
June 4, 2012
You don’t know what to think
When you just sit there like cold stone
Avoiding everyone, so alone
Years gone so fast…stomach churning
Looking back on all those days…always yearning
You don’t know what to think
When everyone around you has decided
Watching them glaze over your talents you have blinded
You feel so free and yet so not
Left to your thoughts…left to rot
You don’t know what to think
Broken up in pieces, a puzzle piece bent
Never fitting in, time never well spent
Warm water dripping from your eyes
A silent desperation that never dies
You don’t know what to think
After all is said and done
You are still the only one
Who is staring out in blank space
Still trying to find a place
You don’t know what to think
It’s like a record repeating in your brain
Releasing stinging rains of pain
Words like darts, he stays
Lingering near, he says,
“You don’t know what to think”
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK
But you know what to write
