Please pardon this useless prattle
I'm still naive and the world is blank
The mind not a squalid ensemble
My eyes still closed
A heart unbroken;
Dreams the same
Staring toward unknown horizons
No one travels along side me
Hoping for happiness
Rewarded with melancholy
This new life slowly tainted
No place for someone to hold roots to
Fading away with the noise
Fearing the individual I've become.
