Like An Ant
Like an ant always trying to climb a wall,
Broken down, am I destined to always fall,
Yet another day, another year in my life,
Old things go new come all looks alive,
But the past haunts, future gives strain,
What did I loose & what things did I gain,
So much loss, yet everyday my ego grow tall,
Torn into pieces, am I destined to always fall,
I mourn in silence, I do whimper when quiet,
Still I am enjoying my life in everyone's sight,
Oh there you are, no its just a false image,
I an not drunk, it's just effect of my craze,
I need to spit it all out, yet I murmur to self,
I want out, yet I just keep hurting myself,
I can also fight, I can be full rational but I don't,
Because I believe in hope when anyone else can't,
Too much I have said, still this isn't even near all,
My feelings like sand, am I destined to always fall.
