no life to live
all past gone by
foot in mouth
tear in eye
listen for sound
nothing to be heard
nowhere left to turn
shameless and alone
wanting to belong
not another clone
all these things on paper
are spinning through my head
want to go on living
wishing I were dead
no matter how bad things get it seems
my heart shows me the way
I must continue living
if only day by day
