Just one of those day...
So cold!
Is it so cold,or,
do I feel so cold?
Is it the weather outside,
or,
or is it my soul?
why do I feel so cold?
They it is five degrees outside,
but in my core,
it is below zero,
the abyss is deep
freezing inside...
What do I care
for weather forecast?
when I am so downcast!
Why do I feel so cold?
The warmth has gone out
of the human soul,
people don't care
how you feel,
rich or poor,
desolate or ecstatic,
broken or intact...
who has the time
or the inclination to ask,
Is everything alright, my friend?
'cause there are no friends!
only strangers
staring at each other
on dark, dismal nights...
Apathy and greed,
is the order of the day,
and yet, no one is happy or gay!
chasing mirages,
running top speed,
not knowing the destination,
no goal,
no need,
just running top speed!
the wind in your face,
piercing your skin,
piercing you deep,
turning to ice,
your heart stops
you cannot breathe!
why do I feel so cold
tonight?
why do I ...
