Im Wasting My Eyes

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

Talking in circles
Im wasting my eyes
Im wasting my eyes
In need of reprise

Remember the days
When I was young
Gone are they now
But stories are sung

I was real good
I was real fast
Being with me
Was known as a blast

But now they are gone
And Im wondrin why
People dont stay
But they do die

I try to compensate
For my lack of need
The want to go all out
The fear just wont recede

These lions oh they roar
These pitfals i abhore
But well do I know
Where this all will go

Ill be sitting down
Waiting with a frown
Talking to myself
Wonderin bout my wealth

Cant accept whats me
Although I try to see
Colors fade and blur
But still I am so sure

Talking to a wall
Theyre sure im going to fall
But im only wasting time
Betting lives on a dime

I will never surrender
And they should know this well
Cause Im wasting my eyes
But Ill always hear the cries

And though im talking to myself
Youd be suprised to find
There are listeners all around
And through there ears I bind

What I need to survive
I take without a thought
And though my eyes are gone
For what I have Ive fought


I wrote this as a song, so at times it seems a little off when read as poetry but i still think its pretty good. Tell me what cha think

But im only wasting time
Betting lives on a dime

That has to be my favorite line!
