I don't have anything to say
But I want to sound important
Nothing to do
But my to-do list is a mile long
No one to be with
But my heart yearns for a love
I don't have anything, to say, to do, to love, to hope for, to hate, to be a person
I might just be a shell
Maybe of girl with passion that fueled fires
Or a boy with the kind of confidence that sent men to early graves
Maybe an old man remembering when he had the strength of a hundred men.
Or president with the pride of a lion
If I am...
All my passion turned to apathy
My confidence gone like the clouds in July
Strength deteriorated into nothing
My pride checked itself out at the door
I think I did this to myself
Muted my voice so no words were heard
Hide away until the burden became too much
Closed myself off until I didn't even know where the key was
But I want to be.
