Hidden Feelings Yes, all, It is time. You see the flash, you hear the chime. What is it, do you ask, do you know? This feeling which I do not show. As none around me say farewell And none around me stop to tell Their lives, feelings, and what they know For they also do not show What they think of me and all the world For only slowly are secrets unfurled. But broken paths must cross again, And twisted roads meet in the end. I feel I am a hollow shell. I want to simply say farewell. I want to leave this all behind. I want to join another time When I can make another rhyme And in its beauty I will shine. But here it is that I am now, Where every other word is "ow." And here it is that I will stay And every now-and-then I pray That I survive my latest mess And someone thinks of me to bless Though I have everything I need, Or do I...? Do you see? But I cannot just give up yet For there is much that I must set. And though some work is even fun It's so much easier to run. What do I think, what do I know? When it all changes I'll let it show For many great things are in the air But now I just pull out my hair.
