Life In Limbo

Morning light, another day.
No more night, gone yesterday.
Sun in sight, in bed I lay.
Yet no delight, no yearn for today.

You wonder why I've no love to borrow,
I'm timid and shy, my emotions narrow.
Affection I deny, I'm full of sorrow -
The reason I don't live for tomorrow.

Here I remain, under this quilt.
Holding in the pain, holding in the guilt.
Feeling in vain, all the walls I've built,
To much disdain, torn down, and wilt.

Dare I wake, set myself free.
I need a break from this agony.
Nothing at stake, complacent I be.
The world's what you make, not what you see.

I want to start my life anew.
With all my heart, my words are true.
If I am smart I'll make it through.
Life mimics art, what will I do?
