As I walk alone
Darkness finds my feet
Loosing my way home
Sometimes loosing all of me
For a chance to find
Something I may never know
And if I loose my mind
I've got nowhere else left to go

Well, its been a while
Since you've seen my face
And though I sometimes smile
Its awkward and its out of place
Comfort ain't no friend
At least not one of mine
But this road never ends
It just winds and unwinds

Feeling ten feet tall
Six foot underground
If I could not fall
Bet you'd stay around
Ain't no state of mind
This place I'm living in
I just need some time
I will be fine again

I liked this one, the rhymes are perfect!! Although the first time i read it i thought it would be kinda wild to feel "ten feet tall six foot underground"  , and I have to admit that due to the lack of coffee tonight i couldn't really get quite a clear message that your entire poem's telling, (perhaps you can enlighten me a little on that one) still some of the lines are cool:

"Comfort ain't no friend
At least not one of mine
But this road never ends
It just winds and unwinds"

Well, I'd really like to say don't let the ever-lasting road (whatever that is to you)make you weary but keep up fighting!  

"Give it some time,
everything is gonna be fine again!"
