The Turnpike Track

People say…
That you let me down
But, you never held me up
I’m through with this
I will find another way

Why am I fighting?
The half full cup
Inherited crown
Life-full remiss

Nothing…
Nothing…

I stand here apart from you
What am I to do?
You gave me everything
But you want nothing to do with me…

Not ready
When will you be?
You are not in my intention
This life you failed to mention
Because you’re so busy

Constant fear
I’m leaving here…I’m leaving here
The blank stare and the emotions you can’t wear

I swear…
I swear…

I stand here apart from you
What am I to do?
You don’t believe I can
Do you not see what I am?
