Life Unfolds

Life has a funny way
Of unfolding itself
You can be happy one day
The next, forgotten on a shelf

People come and go
Nobody sticks around forever
Eventually you get used to the flow
Do you get over it? Never

You still venture forth
Living like everything's fine
You try to forget and move on
Never giving anybody a sign

You start to stay inside
Both your house and yourself
Deep down a part died
Easier to leave your feelings on that shelf

You notice yourself start to change
Not who you used to be
You start to feel strange
As you adapt to this new 'me'

Life makes you wonder
Why do you deserve this?
Why is your life in sunder?
What did you miss?

You wrack your brain
Figuring out where you went wrong
Only thing you find is pain
You start to think you don't belong

Slipping into a dense fog
Your mind begins to shut down
Feels like your life's in a bog
In bad thoughts you drown

Your sorrows are all you've got
Joy has completely gone
Everything you've sought
Disappeared, still you carry on

Soon you stop and think
Why carry on this pain?
How much further can you sink?
Why is it so hard to explain?

Death creeps in as a thought
The only way you can find
To end all this suffering you're wrought
To escape the prison of your mind



Life unfolds in many ways
Not everybody gets a good hand
Your whole life could turn ablaze
Because not everyone's life is grand
