Standing outside myself

by bent but not broken   Dec 24, 2005


Standing outside my own body
Watching my life go by
Helpless to stop what is to come
And unable to change what has been

I reach my hands out
Stuggling to touch myself
To tell myself to stop
Why can't i listen?

Trying to wipe the tears
away
Trying to sooth my soul
And take away my pain

watching myself move
Through each day
Through the pain and struggles
The tears and the laughter

The hapiness of love
The desire of wanting
The fear of losing

Just watching and waiting
The audience of my own life
Waiting to view the outcome
Helpless to change it.

I just stand and watch myself
Pleading to help and change
But my past is gone
And my fate... already decided

    I lie the reflection, and the desire to help urself, but the inability to do so. i love the realization of the futiliy, something i think we all must come to grips with.
