Waiting to die

by alexandra   Sep 12, 2004


I'm not as perfect as what you're remembering
I'm not as happy as what you've seen
I'm not the same as i used to be
but i can't keep pretending.
my sanity is no longer sane
my thoughts are no longer with me
my mind is no longer in place
and my heart has no more sympathy.
you're not losing me,
I'm losing myself
I've slipped away
to someplace else.
because this town has killed me
it took away my places to hide
can't you see?
some people are waiting to live-
but I'm just waiting to die.

    nothing, i guess.
    just.. being in this place all my life.. i dont know... it's so limiting.. so monotonous..
    everyone else has either died, or moved to someplace better.. but i'm stuck here.. lol... it just sucks.
