A story about life


You ever have a day where all you wanna do is walk, music playing in your ears As the world moves around you. So you drag yourself out if the bed you've been in sense you awoke. You slowly get dressed throwing on shorts or pants, You throw on your shirt And you walk to the bathroom. You go to brush Your teeth looking at yourself in the mirror, You stop And see the bags under your eyes from the nights you haven't slept. You let out a long sigh and finish up, You step downstairs Putting on a fake smile to your family and if not that To see your pet who has greeted you. You go and get your socks on one by one still slowly, life has taken the energy from you. You stand and slip your shoes or boots on, and walk to the counter grabbing your phone and ear buds you left there the night before. You open it to see no messages, no missed calls, You let out a sigh putting on that one song that somewhat cracks a smile. Maybe it brings back those good memories in your life, You set the ear buds in your ears walking out the door of your house. The cool air greets you as you take a deep breath, Its somewhat windy So you look to either see the trees dancing above you or the cars moving as they always have. You stroll along the sidewalk the people avoiding you as you walk, They don't pay attention. You lower your head a bit and slip your hands into your pockets, the music playing in your ears making your mind run at a million miles. You take a look up to see others around you happy smiling, enjoying life at it's core. You don't hate them for it but you wish it was you, you wish you were the one to be sitting down laughing and having a good time. But you're to torn down to get out and create such, You feel lost as if you're not in the right place, You pass a man begging for money you stop and stare at him. You can see the patches of dirt covering his face And the Old clothes over his body, He looks at you holding his cup in the air. Another lost person in their life, You reach into your pocket but to not find anything but an empty space. You sigh and turn your head And keep walking, You just wanted to do a good thing but that couldn't even happen. All you do is try to help people In life because you know what it's like to feel bad, you know what it's like to be in pain and you don't want to see other people suffer the same as you have. To be in the same shoes That you have walked in. It's the good thing to do and it brings a smile to your face a bit but it comes with a price becasue the good doesn't exist without the bad. You know what the pain is like So it eats away at you causing you to become distant from the rest of the world only to do somthing when a friend or a family member needs your help...but whose there to help you? Whose there to be your pickup when all you need is someone? Why don't you get that luxury when you're the one falling apart? Is it to much to ask for a friend who can be stronger than you? For maybe a lover to always be at your side No matter what and to pick you up when you're at your worst? It's a serious of questions you can't answer.
