I Looked Inside.

I see a lot of these sullen faces

looking for a future that will not come.

 

Seeking an existence that simply isn't there.

 

I see all of the tears run down all of

their faces as they watch their dreams whither

before them.

 

It's sad. It makes me sad to see them sad.

It's a big mess of sad and it's sad to

watch and sad to see that sad is you

and sad is me.

 

Sorry.

 

When I see their faces, when I watch their tears

I can't help but think about when I used to be in

their same position.

 

It makes me remember when I felt things.

 

I miss it.

Those memories keep me going

some days.

 

It's nice to remember when I had love to give

when I had

when I had

when I had love to give.

 

Instead of looking for love to take.

 

So I sit there and stare at the sullen faces,

remember all I used to have so I can

feel echoes of of feelings that have long since

passed.

 

But then it ends and I turn back.

 

Back into an animal like the rest of the world.
