Reflections

I know I should be feeling good
   because the resort is full of life
Everywhere I turn the smiles are bright
   but inside of my heart I feel decay
I sit in a corner that is far away
   trying to be my own best-friend
With my coffee,paper,pen in hand
   I look at all the faces fade away
Slowly making my way to my room
   with a listless smile on my face
I just lock myself in the bathroom
   and lay my head on the tile floor
Nothing seems to matter when I am alone
   always staring into those empty spaces
      seeing that there is always more
Lost in my own mirror reflection
   I pin myself upon the wall
      with a towel around my neck
There's no need to say goodbyes
   those before had no chance to
      so why should I have the right
It's a privilege, one I never earned
Life has a meaning, one I never learned
