Futureless
What are you to do
When you cannot see the road
When the bridge that you have built
Can no longer lift a load
What are you to do
When the tunnel's light goes out
Leaving you in the dark
With a mind that's full of doubt?
Do you wander in the dark
Until your final breath?
Do you take another road
Hoping to meet death?
Perhaps that's true fear
Knowing not the path
Trudging forth with no future
Facing your mind's ceaseless wrath
Moving forward is like a swamp
Each step caked in sorrow's muck
The days grow harder than the last
As you fight to not get stuck
Though the guiding light is gone
And a destination, you may lack
You must continue forward
As the abyss pulls you back
Your best years are behind you
Tragic is your story's end
But it doesn't come today
As you still have your close friends
So keep trudging through the mud
Even if you wish to fall and lie
Let their hands help raise you up
It's okay to laugh as much as cry.
