Deciding When

Never thought that I would feel this way I just need to make a getaway It just seems more futile every day Don't think I'll be back again Sometimes I want to scream out loud Feel all alone within a crowd Say a prayer with my head bowed To free me from this den Looking back on all my wasted years Spent the sunshine and saved the tears There's a time that you must face your fears The trouble is deciding when Every day I seem more lost Guess I underestimated all the cost Never worried how the dice were tossed Always rolled with the flow Built my castle on shifting sand I'm a stranger in my own land Watch it all slip from my hand How it will end I just don't know I look to heaven and I wonder why Should have made it but I didn't try Memories fade away as time goes by Time has never moved too slow

Vince, The melancholy you write with in this poem is pure slow burning power which makes my heart smile at its beauty but at the same time making it want to cry. You managed to write amazingly how it feels to be like this, thank you for writing this. Kyle
