Wasting away with your dreams in your hand. Walk on down the lonely trail of life with your woman on your arm. Promised happiness is all you seek but you will never find it, never. Oh well.

I walk down the innocent streets filled with not so innocent people. As I walk I look into the faces of those walking with me. It is a short look but it is enough to learn about them. They never look back, they are afraid. Many talking on their cell phones, oblivious to what is around them. Some carry pain, pain I can't understand. Very few wear smiles, most frowns of discontentment. Some watch me pass with judgment in their eyes. Many women and girls examine my beauty, and long for a greeting, but I offer none. I continue on my journey. Cars race by, birds fly, the sun shines. Here I am in this confusing world, seemingly with out reason and without God. I know neither, and neither have searched me out despite my search for them. Am I lonely, no, perhaps alone but never lonely. The sun holds me tight, the night protects me from fear, and my insecurities protect me from damaging relationships. I carry on through crowded streets that seem barren, and wander through this barren life that I pretend is crowded.

You wouldn't understand unless you have come to the realization that there is more to life than sex, comedy, and sports. Also if you still think it is true simply because you believe it you are wasting your time.
