My life is seeking companionship to no avail,
My life is having the ship and not setting sail.
My life is all sorts of strange,
Yet not enough change.
And here I still lie in bed still estranged.
Days pass by, and weeks turn to months,
And vanity strikes where it does not belong.
Yet I still play my songs
But I am no longer fond
Of my surroundings
So transparent, however still
I cannot find the right things to fill
The gaps in my mind, my life, and my soul
Why is it that I do not feel whole?
This force in my body,
Gravity, maybe so.
It’s pulling me downward
And into my core.
I slice at my limbs, my torso, my crown,
Attempting to pull out all that’s amiss
But I miss
And I kiss
Goodbye and good riddance
To the sanity that with me,
Once did dance.
It’s superior without me,
Hence, I wish it Godspeed.
I fathom I’ll find alternative things to feed
My will to complete my daily endeavors.
I need not ask for any favors.
I’ll find it within me to love and to savor
The companionship I search for
And forbear to waiver.

My life is seeking companionship to no avail,
My life is having the ship and not setting sail.
My life is all sorts of strange,
Yet not enough change.
And here I still lie in bed still estranged.
Days pass by, and weeks turn to months,
And vanity strikes where it does not belong.
Yet I still play my songs
But I am no longer fond
Of my surroundings
So transparent, however still
I cannot find the right things to fill
The gaps in my mind, my life, and my soul
Why is it that I do not feel whole?
This force in my body,

Attempting to pull out all that’s amiss

Hence, I wish it Godspeed.
I fathom I’ll find alternative things to feed
My will to complete my daily endeavors.
I need not ask for any favors.
I’ll find it within me to love and to savor
The companionship I search for
And forbear to waiver.
