Bitter Tears of a Wasted Life
I am very insecure
Full of doubt and so unsure
My life's going way off course
Not knowing where it got lost
Swallowed up by all the fears
Leaving me to cry the tears
Of a soul who's dreams were shattered
Broken--never being captured
Gone forever---slowly pacing
Their departure and erasing
My future plans and existence
I can not take the resistance
And being pushed further past
My dreams that are fading fast
In my memories and mind
Is there a way to rewind
Life back to the very spot
Happiness once filled my heart
Before years flashed by my eyes
Giving me more lows than highs
Dreams being put through the ringer
Now they're memories that linger
In the corners of my brain
Leaving a sad hurtful stain
That comes around when I see
Others making history
Living life the way they like
Turning another sharp spike
In my soul that turns and twists
And my eyes once again mist
With the bitter tears I taste
Of a life that's gone to waste
