Lost In a World

I don't look around me, I don't even really see All the people in my life who really might love me Because I'm too busy thinking, or just rearranging the things in my head Dreaming of better things I want instead Sometimes I forget what is really real Always pretending there's something else that I feel I really have to wonder if I'm even really happy If I'm trying so hard to be Sometimes lost in a world that is so hard to bear Waiting, just waiting, for the something else out there And wondering about the damage that I may have done To the person it is that I love I've just been so numb, so empty inside Daydreaming life away, so I could hide And I wish I could stop it, I wish I could let go Of another life, and just love the one I know Julie Stephenson
