Vacuous

Trudging along with each labored breath, yet still I live.
I’ve offered my all until I’ve had nothing left to give

I surrender, I have no fight left within me
Content with just being lonely

No one cares about my day
No one to listen to what I have to say
I express my pain through the words I place on this page

I distract myself as best I can
Attempting to avoid the sorrow within this man

If I were gone today, would I be missed
What’s left to know I did once exist

No legacy to leave, no reasons left for me to believe
Life has become my disease

I’m a good man gone to waste, tossed aside out of selfishness
Wishing I could find a path, I remain directionless

I go through life silent because I’m a coward
Yet the screams inside get louder
