easier way to breathe




i am an empty little girl
no happiness or laughter
no sincere feeling found hiding
behind this smile of mine

very poor in many ways
money is of no issue
there is a lack of esteem
and a loss of self

i've yet to find my path
the trail that i'm to follow
that will lead me to my utopia
or something close to it

i've concluded many things
this little girl is a quitter
if she could find an easier way to breathe
she would take it in a heartbeat

i've reached a crossroad in my life
go right, go left, go straight, go back
or don't go at all
stop and stand and watch life pass by

i am this little girl
just standing by
who blinks and wind
and wishes on weeds

i am but a little girl
who wastes her moments
precious minutes at hand
on wishing her life away

back to proof
back next
