I awake to cold
A bone-chill
Deafening silence
No wind, trees still
No life in sight
No feeling of love
Surrounded by shadows
No light from above
Under a canvas
So dark and hopeless
Forgotten the feeling
Now harbors remorse
As I walk down the path
A feeling begins to consume
It isn’t one of love
But of desperation and gloom
This is a desolate place
A misplaced forest
Where hope is crushed
And dreams are lost
I come upon a dreary man
Who said he was lost
Forgotten his plan
At such a high cost
As he took this road
A shortcut he thought
And with him all
His hopes he brought
Soon he was lost
Despairing quite fast
To this placed he dropped
No more energy to last
When I look at this man
I see a reflection of myself
What about my own plan
Here I am, stuck, with no help
I am left to wander
In search of light and hope
Somehow I must figure
A way to live, to cope...
