Winter's chilling wind blows my hair
Strangers pass by
Rushing along the busy day
Newspapers in hand
All the headlines read "WAR"
I am saddened
I side-step cracks in the concrete
My luck is bad enough as it is
I walk amongst the crowds of the living
And feel completly dead
No one notices me
I feel as a spirit cursed to roam the earth
An angel yet to earn his wings
I say Hi to the passer bys
But get no response
I walk into the coffee house
Seeking conversation
Only to leave 5 dollars poorer
And with caffeine to alert me and increase my paranoia
I carry on with my day
Why had I stepped out of my home today
I should have remained indoors
I'm my own best company
I never have any arguements amongst myself
I never get annoyed with myself
I think my voice sounds good in the shower
I understand myself when I'm by myself
People are evil anyways
They are complex
I wish to be simple
As long as I do not venture out of my home,
Im the smartest man I know
I shall never no death
If no one tells me about it
Suffering shall be denied
If I fail to experience pain
Desire shall be tamed
If there's nothing to be desired
I need not the world
I deny my eyes the sunlight
It causes cancer anyway
As soon as I get home
I'm locking my door
I'll build a wall
Block out the sun
Throw a party with only one name on the guestlist
Toast to myself
And drink to my health

Dr Gonzo,
Don't drink a toast to yourself too often, alone. For that path leads to madness. Strong piece.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
