I feel mostly like I’m just a skeleton
With worn out ribs and a cracked spine
Blood shot eyes lined by dark circles
Alabaster skin I’m constantly trying to shed
An alien within my own habitat
I know not where I’m going
Or when I shall ever get there
But I still carry on, slightly limping all the way,
The unforgotten memories of past failure still lingering
Reminding me I am merely bones and skin
Emotions and ambitions left behind long ago
Not immune to the disastrous ways of the universe

I feel mostly like I’m just a skeleton
With worn out ribs and a cracked spine
Blood shot eyes lined by dark circles
Alabaster skin I’m constantly trying to shed
An alien within my own habitat
I know not where I’m going
Or when I shall ever get there
But I still carry on, slightly limping all the way,
The unforgotten memories of past failure still lingering
Reminding me I am merely bones and skin
Emotions and ambitions left behind long ago
Not immune to the disastrous ways of the universe
