Is It Getting Dim

I woke up in the shadow of a dream.
Left me wonderin' are things what they seem.
Daylight not yet shining any light.
I rolled back over to let my dream take flight.

The days and years fade steady in the mirror.
As I face the facts with another glass of beer.
An empty pocket devoid of any change.
Hope fly's out the window completely out of range.

I second guess and feel the stress.
Which causes me dismay.
But I digress, it's just a mess.
It seems everything's grey.

This afterglow of aftermath bores me to the bone.
I never know if it's my path or just unanswered phones.
It seems I'm stuck here in this rut of endless emptiness.
Unable to find my way back to a place of happiness.

I understand! You need to make a plan when you are not depressed, my plans involve trips at least once a year to experience things I have never seen! Then all year I love forward to my escape!!! Light & Love
