Wretched Song                                                           (April 10, 2000)

I walk the streets that I�ve walked all my life
and now I feel like I�m a stranger here.
No one knows me and I don�t recognize
a friendly face among the silent stares.
Gray sidewalks and tired houses on both sides
of a road that�s taken me nowhere
can never take the place of sun-filled skies
and trees and hills and meadows and fresh air.
The tedium I feel now for this place
is matched only by feelings of disgust.
I need to occupy some different space�
and soon�or else I will self-destruct.
Do I possess the courage to move on,
or will I forever sing this wretched song?
