Now

where am i going?
where have i been?
empty handed
i fall to my knees
what has this all been for?
will i ever find a dream to chase?
balled fists
i slam anger against  the wall
what is wrong with me?
why does this happen to me?
lost i stumble
crying all the way
is there no one for me?
do my sin's out way my right to happyness?
laughing it all off
to hide the tears rolling down to the ground
i am damned to this way of life
i cry out for your touch
look away and bury my face in the lap of sadness
you did not hear my call
or did you ignore it?
do i want to know the answer?
will not let go
maybe you will remember 
and embrace me?
is this it?
i think i hear death calling me
im afraid now
so afraid that i will 
head his call
