This Path...

Life has led me down a path that has made it hard to find my way,
No direction, no clear view of what's to come the next day.

Simple things that once made me smile no longer hold an appeal,
Because numbness is the only way to explain how I feel.

Searching for an explanation for the sorrow that I have afflicted,
Too many times are the words that I have contradicted.

A hypocritical way is the main characteristic that is shared,
Always pretending to listen reassuring that one cared.

Tired of waking to find that everyday only seems to bring more strife,
Wishing to understand why we must endure such pain in this journey called life.
