Poem: In my so-called life,
I so-called live
I feel there's so much
I have to give
What I lack
is the will to try,
and so I lay back
and watch dreams pass by
I know it's nobody's fault-
not even my own.
Still, I struggle
to get through each day alone.
In bed half the day,
idle at night
I proceed through my tunnel,
yet still there's no light
Losing all I once had,
I never did expect
Though what hurts the most is
I've lost self-respect.
I search for an escape route,
a way to be free
A passage to happiness-
to be anyone but me.
It seems I'm doomed,
yet I'll continue on
Knowing it's hopeless,
but hoping somebody proves me wrong...
