I sit here in disparagment
The writing on the wall has been this way
Some time has passed and I still remain
I ask myself what am I doing?

All of the pain and the failure goes nowhere
Even though I try to make it hide
I look for brighter days
I ask myself what am I doing?

The tide has went out and come back in
I have seen a chance to ride the wave
I tried to swim but I sank  instead
I ask myself what am I doing?

The cares of life took control
The ones I tried to control
The demons I tried to kill
I ask myself what am I doing?

I look back and see desolation
There is nothing to reclaim
Only the future to try
I ask myself what am I doing?

So on and on I must go
A driving force called life that hopes
That is all that breathes now
I ask myself what am I doing?

To go  on and live with a vengence
Go to the outer limits this time
Don't look back for nothing
Now I know what I am doing??????

I had ask myself the same question many times.
And I see you left it on a good note,
now you know what your doing!!!
this is a great poem, kid.
you have been gone, and we did miss you.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
