As I walked around this neighborhood of mine...
I see everybody...
Just staring up into the sky...
And...before they knew it..
A light beamed at them...
And showed them the happiness...
The joy...
The wonderfulness of life...
The life they were meant to live...
So...I tried it...
But...a beam of light didn't show...
A cast of shadows began to surround me...
Began to show me...
They showed me the fear...
They showed me the darkness...
They showed me the coldness...
They showed me the loneliness...
Then...a little shadow appeared in front of me...
This shadow...of a boy...
No...a man...
A shaggy old man...
He looked cold...
Tears of depression and loneliness showed in his eyes...
The paleness of his skin...made him seem dead...
I understood them now...
What they showed me...
Was me...
So I stopped looking up...and sat right where I stood...
And thought...
"When everyone else looked up to the skies...
They were promised happiness...
When I looked up to the skies...
They showed me my dismal fate..."
