Mending my emptiness

by falling star   Nov 23, 2005


When I came into this world
I was so innocent and pure
but as I live each day
I'm becoming less sure
who am I in this world?
who is everyone else?
people are so greedy
only thinking about themselves
I just don't understand
why God would put me here
Isee my whole life fading
as the ones I love disappear
I'm always told to cheer up
and put a smile on my face
but how can I do that
when my existence is a disgrace?
but when I go to sleep
I'm in a different life
it doesn't have much pain
and it never gives me strife
I wish that I could live
inside of that dream
life feels so heavenly there
much better than possible it seems
knowing that I can't, I wake
I rub my tired eyes
I am now awake
to the pain and the lies
but I smile all day
knowing that I'll find peace in the end
my fantasy will be waiting
so that my emptiness can mend
