Tears of August are slantingly sliding
down the window. I’m bored and lonely.
If only the radio said something exciting
I’d get up out of bed, if only
there was a reason, a purpose for breathing.
I’d find my vocation in something important
I’m not here for breeding!
Why else? I don’t know, thus I’m dormant,
uncaring. I’m a just leftover of my social
milieu,-- a by-product of my generation,
but there’s no reason to get emotional--
there’s always an outlet- imagination.
I spend my best years devising affection.
Just swallow a glass and he’s flying!
Who’s he? ... no, not I... my reflection.
All the while I’m over here... dying.

This is very sad, Master. Very well written.

Thank you Denise, I don't know what came over me... I'm not really that depressed!
