No Future

I see a dark night
I look for a flash light
Am stuck in the past
No Street light
To guide me through the night.

I feel I have lived longer
Longer than I thought
Stuck in the world that’s gone
Stuck in the place where it’s no more
Looking for my light

I get inspirations
Also get all motivations
Every step I take seems lost
Every move I take is lame
There is no light to the future

Everything is a struggle
Making it hard and complicated
To even try to light a flashlight
Stuck in the dark; the past
Thinking of the future

Waiting for directions
And push from all sides
Looking for a flashlight
To light my future
Or else there is no future.
