Cloudy

Wondering, wondering, wondering
Weary, weary, weary
What has happened to me
I seem to be on a journey 
Without a destination
Where is my spirit taking me
Seems like I have been on 
This road to nowhere 
For a long, long time
When does it change
When does it stop

Out Loud

When you have no hope
No joy, no sorrow
When you are numb to the world
When nothing makes sense anymore
No passion for life
No desire to learn
Feeling like I should be sleeping on the ground
Feeling like I know what failure feels like
Knowing that I know what it is to be the loser
Understanding that I do not understand
What I thought I understood
There is no plan 
Only pain
There is no peace
Only loathing
This has been a long hard ride
And I am becoming tired
I am becoming tired
I have been tired
I am tired

Silent

Stunned into stillness
Frozen in time
Everything around me
Grows so quick
I am the same as I ever was
Stuck in the back
Stuck in a different place
Stuck in a different time
Watching
Watching
Watching
A bystander
Watching
As the world goes by

Re Run

My soul is torn
Punishment is my reward
No light in my tunnel
Pain is my companion
           Loneliness is my friend 
Sorrow is a constant
No goals
No direction
No ambition
Same song
New day 
Same dance
New tune
Forever cast in my role
Search as I will
There is nothing to find now
No interest
Nothing stirs my soul

No Answers

Like a broken wheel

Like a broken branch

Got a broken mind

Like a box with a broken latch

Overwhelming currents of emotion

More thoughts than can be processed

Cannot grasp a singular thought

Vibrating, vibrating, vibrating

Cannot speak, can barely hear

Please don't be mad at me

Like a deceivingly innocent child

That simply does not understand

Repeat

In that place again

That awful familiar place

Don't ever go there on purpose

Don't know why it exists

Surely just for torment

Inescapably uncomfortable




Mirror

 I look in the mirror

And what do I see

I see a piece of me

That you cannot see

Dark and ugly

Mean and rank

Lonely and scared

No one to thank

But the guy 

I see in the mirror

That you cannot see
