take a glance
at the world around you
your chance
is in the path you choose
bodies of sorrow
crying at your feet
accomplishment is empty
when you end in defeat
down in a rut
darkness becomes day
to mimic the truth
to keep them away
silent tears
they never could care
life is too busy
why wouldn’t they share?
you’re dying
inside and out
but you keep on lying
pretending it’s what life’s all about
writing words
you’ve forgotten how to cry
the words that never would be read
they never took the time
tell the truth
why can’t you act alive?
are you lost?
why do they always leave you behind?
