I survived myself

But barely

And now I forget

What life is supposed to be,

Pacing mile after mile

Of old worn out roads

Until the soles of my shoes

Are worn thin.

I keep searching for pieces,

Bread crumbs I might have dropped

To lead me back home,

Back to who I was before…

But it’s been too long

And I’ve gone too far

And now it seems I’m lost

In such a familiar setting

That has changed so much,

Like the mirror I look into,

A vision so foreign

I no longer like what I see,

Just an empty husk

Barely alive.

I have to wonder

What constitutes living

From just passing time.
