Half Empty

My eyes will close but I cannot sleep,
my mouth will move but I cannot speak,
the wind will blow but I cannot feel,
I am struck once again but not able to heal.
Nothing has touched me but still I am marked,
I wish to feel love but I still have no heart,
I write down the words but they still make no sense,
I try to move forward but live in past tense.

My tears will fall but feel so dry,
I will tell you the truth but still live in a lie,
I will sing you the song but the melody's dead,
I live in reality, but escape in my head.
Tomorrow is coming but yesterday lurks,
I move from danger but still end up hurt,
my fire is burning but gives off no heat,
I am calling it's name but we never will meet.

I say my God's prayer but still feel afraid,
I work to the fullest but still get no grade,
they say that they trust me but still hide away,
they tell me to speak but I've nothing to say.
The roses grow graceful but cut me with thorns,
the sun's started rising but hell slowly dawns,
I offer to help and yet no one will let me,
my soul is half full and my life is half empty.
