It's been a while

Muddled, tired, hoping for the best

It's been a while

I've almost forgotten how to smile

Smiling just enough to mask my troubles,

tired to the extent where my vision doubles.

Placing my best foot forward to see where it leads me,

Living with the wrong decision no matter which path I take as far as I can see.

Just a little blurb, a memoir, a short little diary entry to let others know I am still here,

Trying to tie all my strings and loose ends together as the future draws near.

Discontent, disheartened, disillusioned by the current state and progression of the world,

Having difficulty adjusting and just wanting to sleep forever, nice and curled.
