I'm empty inside
Nothing feels right
Everything's dull
In my sight
I firmly believe
I'm wasting away
Simply surviving
Day after day
Things happen
But, I never care
It doesn't feel real
Or special or rare
I feel like an outsider
In my own life
My fantasies make it
Worth all the strife
I like to pretend that
Life will be better
When I'm older, richer or
After getting a love letter
Expectations I have
Are never fulfilled
Nothing's ever as great
As I have willed
Will life ever pay off?
It feels quite pointless
To wake up everyday
Feeling so worthless
I'm no one important
And won't ever be
Seven billion people
Who'd care about me?
Death is not what
I'm trying to achieve
I want to live life
Not suffer and grieve
Just to be happy
And feel emotions
But I seem to have gone numb
To all of these notions
-t.d.
