I am No One

By Jennanselmo

And now it seems the end is near and you cannot be saved
Tomorrow comes without warning; it comes crashing down like a wave
All these days spent in preparation of this moment, hours you now lay to waste
You throw away your dreams something you will never be able to replace
Every step forward now you have taken so many more back
And you are left wondering if this is all there is, to be reminded of what we lack
No finish, no goal, there is no end to this daily strife
With self, with others, you question the point to this life
You start idolizing those that are gone hoping you soon will be too
Living to die, praying to someone you never really knew
Is happiness a reality, can it really be attained?
Or is it just an idea someone created that you will always strive to obtain?
I have more questions than answers, and they all lead back here
To face what I tried to escape, to face my true fear
Disappointment, abandonment, these are the things I must confront
Here alone, by myself, I must pay for everything I am not
