The soothing sound of the water fills my mind, with thoughts of life that surrounds my loneliness, The silhouette of my dreams haunt me, leaving me with tears streaking my face, I cannot sleep, I toss and turn, within an empty bed of sadness, I face the world with a charade of happiness, when deep inside I seek for contentment, I go day by day waiting to fill this void, that grasps hold of my ever beating heart, I routinely follow through with my every day tasks, hoping, wishing, that today would be the day, I pere out my windows as I drive the streets, looking at faces that seem blank and afraid, I'm surrounded by a world that doesn't understand, who I truly have come to be, Who I will be in the future, yet, to come, with a clouded mind of the unknown, I circle myself with the things I love most, but still feel the emptyiness within, How will I overcome what I feel inside, to become whole, once again!
