HELP

I sit in my room and try to imagine my future

I cant

Not for lack of imagination or lack of trying

But for the lack of purpose

 

I see no reason to walk on the path of others

And i see no reason to start my own

 

My family looks to me for the future

I smile and tell them it is bright

 

They do not see that i myself am in the dark

 

Pain

Sadness

Loneliness

 

But a few words to describe me
