Time

Its getting to dark to dark to see
Im dying inside and no one knows but me
Im shutting things out without knowing
When I go for their comfort its not there
Im lost I have no where to go 
No one to talk to and nothing to show
Its as if im already dead 
my shell is left here to wonder
To walk this earth full of emptiness
My mind never shuts down its nothing but bliss
I look at myself and I see nothing 
Staring back at me 
emptiness is all it can be 
I lost myself somewhere along the way
Im just sitting here waiting for it to return one day
And if it does will I be the same
Or will I be full of knowledge and wisdom
Of things that others would not understand
Unless you have been where I have been
And felt what I have felt
Seen what I have seen 
And twisted and conformed my body in shapes unseen
The human body can withstand tremendous amounts of stress
When put to the test will I make it or will I fail
All in time it will prevail 
Yes time EMIT  time TIME emit will tell
