Inward

      What Gives?
      Confusion.
      I look back and see a shell
      Of who I am
      I reach up to the sky
      With empty hands
      And an empty feeling in my heart
      Watch the stars fall
      Earthward.
      Sometimes I scream inside
      Dig in deep
      Thinking the answers lie
      Inward,
      I reach up with arms outstreatched
      No-one comes to save me
      I lie down in the field
      And Dream.
