Floating around in a world unknown

My head is numb and hands cold

My sanity being overthrown

Thoughts not doing what they’re told


Passion lacking any spark

Creativity beginning to crack

Like being thrown into park

Looking down but never back


Scrambling to race against the clock

Quitting believing and wanting to stop

These symptoms are hid under key and lock

Waiting for the end and out i opt


Leaving a never ending swarm of lies

And starting this new life I lease

Not bothering with any goodbyes

Leaving people I no longer need to please


Positive thoughts beginning to trend

Walking a straight line down the aisle

Pondering my beginning and end

Moving slowly through this last mile


Roses are given, diplomas taken

And though we still have one more summer

Sobs are swallowed and goodbyes are given

A happy event has suddenly turned somber


As parents and graduates drive away

Handfuls of last words never being said

And on that evening in the grass we lay
Nervously discussing the future ahead.
