Only Answer I Get



i was searching through the darkness in the middle of the night.
looking for some answers to help me shed some light.
on those questions that leave me to weak to fight.
on the difference betwen wrong and right.

i wake up in the morning still trying to find my way.
afraid that i am going to just lose another day.
looking for blue skies in a cloud of grey.
hopes the only reason i can find to stay.

tommorows coming forever more.
but today, i just don't know what for.
the past has paved it's way.
shrug my shoulders, nothing left to say.
