The Life That Was

The Life I can't get back
Is always retreating
And it's forested walls
They're always impeding

My charts are always clouded
My stars are always fogged
By maps that are always shrouded
By routes that're always Clogged

Into the neverending
I embrace the unknown
With passion unending
Into the never shown

That I walk with no purpose
I walk with no aplombe
I walk with no sense of urgence
Once more to the unknown

Introspective Afternoon

I'm not how I am
But for the things I've endured
I'm not me, but I feel indentured
To a life moored in apathy

I try every day to reach out
But my facade is keeping me at arms length
And I know that it holds me back
But I'm powerless against it's strength

I fight, I struggle every day
To be the me that I really want to be

But the me I really want to be
Is so far away, that I can't see

What it'll take to get there
It's so cloudy that I can't see
What I'm doing wrong?
Can you help me?

Squandered

Squandered, wasted, apathetic and distant
These are the words that describe my existence

Invisible, nobody, forgotten, unwanted
I try to move on as though I'm undaunted

Days end in nights alone in the dark!!
