Hands out I ain't reaching
So scared of leaving
Ain't looking for a reason  
Seems it found me so long ago
The esteem of self ain't a confident 
Just a fear of reality
Take a glimpse you shall see
It is not all sun and fun
My life 44 years gone now
Lost still like a little boy
What's the problem with isolation 
Missed opportunities 
Where's the color
Amongst the grays
Shaded black
Time keeps slippin
Love is good Love is great
But unaccepted
In this mess of reality 
The simplicity of imagination 
Buried goals
Nothing to show ain't willing to look
The true reality of things is I can't cope till now.
