Body bound, mind adrift.
In space I stare, in class I sit.
Your voice is a white noise devoid of all meaning
Do not disturb. This day, I’m dreaming.
I once dreamed of the future, I now dream of the past.
It all seems to have changed so fast.
My youthful dreaming felt like scheming
I wanted the world, I wanted a meaning.
I wanted to write, to rule, to direct.
Now all I want is solitude and rest.
In that world I’m a god,
In this I’m a clod.
Dreams of grandeur,
A life of failure.
In my youth I would jump and fall,
I simply couldn’t climb that wall
All my efforts laid to waste,
So at this age I don’t make haste.
Apathy.
That’s just me.
Can’t fight mediocrity,
Close my eyes and I still see
A future gray and fancy free
Needs not met, nothing wanted.
Known for nothing, never vaunted.
I see no hair,
I see no care.
A future gray and fancy free,
A future holding only me.
