Nowhere to Run

Dark fields of dismay
Before my eyes lie my shattered dreams and goals
Disappointment swims within
Motionless I stand as if time has frozen
No perception of direction
Everything’s so peculiar
No illumination, no friends, or joy
This place seems so familiar
No gleeful moments to obtain
Happy days and fun are now done
Solitude I must return to
Alone I am again, with nowhere to run

    Extremely powerful; a whole universe in just a few words.
