"Untitled"

days and evenings spent daydreaming.
mind drifting aimlessly through space and time.
brain soaking up knowledge with everything eyes see.
why must i continue on this way?
when will i be satisfied?
i crave peace of mind.
i need sanity.

staring at the screen through a haze of  smoke
cig dangling  from the corner of my mouth
gazing at words having little meaning for me
words which used to flow so easily
now seems so forced and empty
why must i even try?
why can't i cry?
such a pity.

where has the time gone?
i sit and do nothing,
yet i think about everything
where have i gone?
if not to withdraw into the deepest
recesses of my mind
i'm so lost.

give me inner peace
give me silence
give me hope
give me
you
