Everything seems good but I feel so alone,

Ravages of time turn my heart to stone.

The looking glass of life so jaded and black,

Events in my life I want to give back.

Walking this path like so many before,

Surrounded by walls, I can't find the door.

Trapped in a world, so alone and afraid,

My emotional guitar-strings pain has just played.

Feeling such anger I must escape from this place,

The emotional torment shows on my face.

No door can I find so I look low and high,

But the walls that surround me reach to the sky.

The floor it has holes I must jump to miss,

Looking downward I see the abyss.

Although I could jump, it would be over so fast,

I keep having thoughts of happiness past.
