Deep Jail

entry picture

I've lost all the hunger, all the desire.
Nothing out there to rekindle the fire.
I feel so lonely...everyday is the same.
I have nobody but myself to blame.

Chasing dreams, I've no right to chase.
I'm scared of this lonely future I face.
Nowhere to turn, and no easy way out.
Help is out there, of that no doubt.

But my feelings, I'd prefer not to share.
As to burden others, doesn't seem fair.
So today to the Triangle, I now set sail.
Hoping it will snare me into its deep jail.

Who knows, maybe happiness I'll find.
With that in mind, I leave this life behind.
Maybe the Triangle will meet my goals.
A better home maybe for other lost souls.
