(97)▪︎[ Just An Ordinary Day … 1•29•2021 ]

[ I Am Just Sitting Here In The Dark ]
[ With Nothing But My Thoughts ]
[ Wondering If My Life Is In Neutral Or Park ]

[ I Seem To Be Running Uphill On A Treadmill
     Not Getting Anywhere ]
[ The Main Problem With This Is That I Have Lost The
     Desire To Care ]

[ As I Sit Here I Do Not Hear A Thing ]
[ So I Watch The Phone ]
[ & Hope That It Would Ring ]

[ Minutes Drag By, Then They Turn Into Hours ]
[ Everytime I Think Things Are Going Well ]
[ It Turns Upside Down & Sours ]

[ Those That I Thought Were Friends Jumped Ship 
     When The Waters Got Rough ]
[ I Would Always Listen To Their Problems When
     Their Lives Got Tough ]

[ But I Never Thought That They Would Turn Their Back ]
[ It Feels Like When I Spoke Up]
[ My Face Got Smacked ]

[ I Always Turned The Other Cheek ]
[ Or Correct The Facts Whenever They Would Speak ]

[ I Never Put Them On The Spot ]
[ Because They Were Wrong Alot ]

[ But One Thing That I Have Come To Realize ]
[ In My Years ]
[ Is That People Come & Go Throughout All Of Our Lives ]

[ Like Two Ships Passing Each Other On A Very Dark Night ]
[ I Am In Their Thoughts ]
[ Until I Am No Longer In Their Sight ]

[ But This All Goes Full Circle As I Sit Here Alone ]
[ The Silence Gives Off Its Own Peculiar Tone ]
[ & It Has Been Shown ]
[ That It Always Sends A Chill Clear To My Bones ]

[ I Have To Turn Around & See What I Don’t See ]
[ & Come To Realize This Is How My Life Is Going To Be ]
[ I Bet After I Slowly Count From 1 To 3 ]
[ I Could Look Around & It Would Still Only Be … Me ]

~ The End ~
