Fading To Nothingness

I am trying to be bright To laugh and smile Like everything’s alright I can no more fight I am too jaded Too strained My nerves too stretched To feel a damn thing Think I’ve gone numb More from too much heat Than from ice cold Something died inside Somewhere where my heart beats Something has gone off Like a candle light Gone poof! Now I feel a little ill A little too depressed And too stressed Maybe I’ll sleep a little Or lay in bed And daydream Dream beautiful dreams Of places and people Who smile and cry with me When it seems I am all alone In life’s black sea Maybe I’ll just close my eyes And my mind And close out every little thought Happy or not And just float Like a lost astronaut Floating eternally Through time and the blackness Of space. Let my stress fade To nothingness.
