Where am I going
Where have I been
Running in circles
Again and again

Trying to get things done
Do these things matter to me
Most of the stuff I can’t even see

So why do I keep running
I’m going crazy in my head
Soon I won’t be able to get out of bed

Slow it down, I keep telling myself
What’s the rush, there isn’t one
No one cares, I’m the only one

Burnout is coming, it’s like a freight train
I have to slow down, stop fighting my brain
Or I will surely,
Go Insane…

When you think it's all over
And you're done with life
Hang in there one more day
Put down the knife

Write a poem
Love yourself
No one else will
They can all go to hell

It's not over
Until the fat lady sings
Wake up tomorrow
And see what she brings

It could be magic
It could be real
As long as you like how it makes you feel

So wake up just one more day
See what the universe has to say
Is this reality, or am I a character in a play
There is no way to truly say

Keep on going, follow Her way
Just live and breathe, each and every day...

I’m done looking for Mr. Right
He doesn’t exist
I’m tired of this fight

So I’ll go on my merry way
I’m the master of my day

No one to report to
No one to pretend I care
It’s all about me
It doesn’t have to be fair

So I’ll stay alone
With me, myself and I
I won’t shed a tear
I’ll never again have to cry

I wanted it to be fantastic
But it wasn’t
I wanted it to be great
But it wasn’t
I wanted there to be more
But there wasn’t
I wanted some excitement
But there wasn’t
Was it all a dream?
That is the way it seems
I thought it was real
But it wasn’t

What is left
When there is nothing left
Nothing left to live for
Nothing left to die for

What is left
When you’ve done it all
Got up from every fall
Crossed the ocean
Crossed the desert to
What is there left to do

What is left
When I lie my head down at night
A few new dreams, all full of fright

What is left
Of me, my friend
When it seems I’m at the very end

The sky was angry
The wind howled loudly
The grey clouds swirled round and round
What would come next
No one knew what She would do

Mother Nature was strong and mad
Lots of tears fell, she was feeling sad

Chunks of ice came out of the sky
You could actually see the hurt in her eyes

She threw fire violently to the ground
With a brilliant light show and a load crashing sound

This went on for quite some time
Until the night ended and the sun came out to shine

A rainbow appeared
There was sunshine in sight
The storm was over
She made the new day bright

I’ve been trying to fill up my life
With people and things
The next vacation
The next boyfriend
The next new dress
What a sad mess

What do you do when nothing works anymore?
I’m tired of buying things, and acting like a *****

Nothing is thrilling or the least bit exciting
It’s getting boring and terribly frightening

I used to be able to buy something new
That would help keep me from being blue
Find a new man
A brand new romance
I’m too tired to even get up for the dance
