Drifting.

Stumble over fallen sheets, pounding in my head.

Glimpse across the room, this is'nt my bed.

Tried to escape for twenty four hours.
Unpacked case, new place and hotel showers.

Have to get back soon, oblivion awaits.
Keep the phone on silent, but check it just in case.

Gone like the wind, modern vagabond.

Texts and emails, not important.
I wont respond.

Hard liquor makes the day pass quicker.
Bruised knuckles, heavy bag hard hitter.

I'm slowly sinking through the floor.
Once bright future, now unsure.

Whatever I grasp fades away.
Saving wishes for a rainy day.

Envy of friends who say, you can do what you want.

I want what I can't have.
Something real that I can grab.

You all have faith, family, love and purpose.

I have nothing to keep me grounded, it's making me nervous.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.
A rolling stone stays forever lost.

I'm either sinking or floating, I need an anchor.

I've looked everywhere, for all the wrong answers.

I can't be a carbon copy of whatever's in fashion.

If something's worth doing, do it with passion.

No man is an island. Or so I was told.
But I'm on desolate land, estranged and cold.

Live free and die hard, be ambitious and bold.

But what does it matter....

When you have nothing to hold.

Voices In My Head

Voices in my head, they keep me awake, I can't get no rest, I turn around, reposition myself on someone's else bed, I don't know her name, or how I end up in this place I wait for the sun to come...

Find me

I'm lost please find me, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. It's all so dark when I'm alone. I don't like it when my future is unknown. I'll count the minutes till I'm saved.

Life

So simple a question yet I cannot answer. Why must I have to think logically. Why not it be simple and put into a equation. But no, I have to think outside the box.

Lost In Life

I don't know my direction, Away from the street signs, I'm lost without the light, of the fluorescent street lights.

Purpose

I walk through the lush forest, the earthy bracken crackling as I trudge along the miserable woods. Tall, still trees stand with wisdom and creak with the wind.

Travel Again

Travel is my fate. A plan I must create. To be free. To be me. With glee. Walk with smiles. Travel a thousand miles. By foot. Scenery to look. Upon with excitement. This is the path I have chosen.

Sunrise vs. Depression

I have a nice room But what does it matter if I don't want to be in there. I have nice siblings But what does it matter if they all moved away and I can't see them when I want.
