I'm stuck, in an everlasting desert of shame I cannot find my way out of my profound land of loneliness As i sit on the cold sandy ground, i ponder, 'Why must it be this way, why can i not escape' The answer comes to me. I slowly sink into the sand of hurt, forever drowning in the presence of hope that is never going to arrive, even as i grow i cannot seem to let go of the memory that the sparkle in my eye is never coming back. I'm now more stuck than i ever was before, finding things to do to pass time in the land of my caged prison, wondering when someone will finally set me free.
