The clock is ticking
and the days almost done.
What have I done
to make a difference?
What have I done
to stand out today?
I'm somehow oblivious
at times like these
when I ask myself
what I can do.
Am I living to die
or dying to live?
I ask these questions
and feel so clueless.
I live like any other day,
but I feel so worthless.
How can I just smile every day
when it's all the same?
