With

With age comes the reality
that life is just another perception.
Take in each image with blind eyes.
Walk forth with such deception.

With time comes each lesson
that consumes my bruised soul.
Burrowing itself into each thought,
Until my mind is full of holes.

With opportunity comes so much change
yet so much still has not.
Sadness still crawling through me.
Anger still red hot.

With each step I take
I remain in the same place.
Times continues to move forward,
But the pain still shows on my face.

With each moment I am alone
everybody else is so far away.
Grasping for just one reason,
Reaching,hoping, trying to stay.
