and today I'm just a spectator of the world
as people socialize and continue in reality
I'm behind a glass wall
observing it all

though i hear nothing but my own thoughts
my eyes drop
im an outsider to my own society
and i wonder what is wrong with me

Suppose I'm just a hopeless fool
To me love is so cruel
A lost cause at best
Yet something great for the rest

Suppose I was meant to be alone
Giving me a heart like stone
Contrary to belief
I wallow in my grief

Suppose it's just meant to be me
A wandering soul to be
Only one set of foot prints
Is as good as it gets

Suppose everyone can't be as lucky
And my heart has finally struck me
And it seems I need to realize
There is no one meant for these eyes

Suppose from here on
I'll just keep going strong
Keep moving along
Only myself forever and beyond

As this place I remember
Holds my past so well
Growing up in this town
A fair story to tell

Of memories made
And years gone by
Landmarks I remember
Though to everyone else are blind

I see years growing up here
Lessons learned, stories begin
I can recall all the people
And start to grin

Early mornings and starry nights
I shared all my time with this place
Though in years to come
It will all be erased

We're all just a memory
Picture, dust in this wind
Like sunrise to sunset
We begin just to end

you
you lie
you cheat
you steal
you sneak

you're evil
you're malicious
you're cruel
you're suspicious

you hurt
you break
no matter what
is at stake

you're heartless
you're cold
you're destructive
you're uncontrolled

you've destroyed me
you've broken me down
so never ask me again
why I'm no longer around

that deep breath of defeat.
the one you inhale, and when you exhale its like all of the
hope
energy
effort
soul
you had left just leaves your body
and you feel empty
like whatever was left of you just dissipated into the air
and after that breath that you feel is your last, though you know isn't, you just stare
blank mind
no emotion
you feel nothing.

you take a single moment to almost leave earth
and travel to your own world
collect yourself and your thoughts
and then take another deep breath.

and that next deep breath
is the one that matters
the fact that you did continue breathing
continue fighting
continue achieving
chasing
living
feeling

you take that deep breath in
scrape up the chards left of your hope
pick up the pieces of your shattered faith
and find your lost energy
and you get up and go right back to hunting down your dreams without even a second thought.
