Days Go By
-------------------

Day after day I put one foot in front of the other
Hoping to get somewhere
Eventually

Memories along the way to keep me company
Memories that are no comfort at all
Yet they prevail where people have failed
They make me feel, the good and the bad

Everyone walks by on their own journey in life
And still I remain helpless
Can they not hear my plea for help?
See the scars I bear?

Am I that good at hiding the fact that I’m broken?

As time goes by my cries for help fall silent
I blend in with the crowd and draw a smile upon my face
Inside I chant my mantra
I’m okay, I’m fine…..

Day after day I put one foot in front of the other
Pretending to have a purpose        
Pretending to belong
Just pretending
