i am...
i am shadowed
i am alone
i am consoled
i am estranged
i am smiling
i am crying
i am in a sea of my own tears
floating abreast half a dozen boats
i call out and just as each draws near
the wind pushes me under and i am alone again
i am surrounded by a crowd who knows my name
they call out to me and welcome me home
the greetings are said and they mingle
the crowd swarms around me and i am alone again
i am lying on a grassy knoll looking up
to the stars which are always just out of reach
just as i feel i can touch a bright light
it is snuffed out and i am alone again
i am offered a chance at emptying my soul
i am offered a chance at getting some help
i am offered a chance to open my eyes again
i am offered a chance and i am alone again
i am passing up opportunities
which path leads to the path of righteousness
all i can see is two roads diverging
in a yellow wood
and i am alone again...
always shadowed and sometimes comforted
but still alone
still
