Despondent

No proof in the way I lie
The feelings concealed I only deny

Testing my strength at seventeen
Realizing thirty-five is not a dream

Circling vultures in the sky
Waiting for the dying to die

In my head it's the same
Circling around is only pain

Waiting for this feeling to subside
Like wind swept clouds from the sky

Holding on is so deranged
Stubborn pride must be changed
