Waiting To Go

I force open crusty eyelids
To a dark and dismal day outside
I pull the covers overhead 
All I want to do is hide
Old friends call me now and then
They beg me to come out and play
But I've grown accustomed  to this dusty room
Perhaps it's best I stay away
They ask me if I'm tired of being alone
And watching life just pass me by
But how can I feel guilty of that
When I'm more at peace when I just hide.
No one really gives a **** anyways
They won't miss me when I'm gone
No tears will shed the day I die
And travel far beyond.

Hi Carl, wow, this sounds like the shades of me. Everything on here makes me feel as if you are reading into my soul, after yours. What I'm trying to say, is I can definitely relate to this (you). I wonder if I'm even worth all that. Always LINDA

This is so sad! I certainly hope you don't really feel this way. Love, Kim
