Alone, Alone, Alone
The thought of growing older is scary to me
The people I hold close to my heart will soon leave me
I will be left alone in this world
Alone, Alone, Alone
What is the point of growing older, knowing death is inevitable?
I have searched for happiness
I have searched for satisfaction
I have filled my mind with materialistic things, in hopes of being happy
It is an addiction, one that I have failed to conquer
But what is the point in having fame and fortune, when death will leave them all behind?
It is morbid
It is dark
My mind is filled with all these thoughts
Growing older only brings death to my mind
Because in the end, what else will I find?
Death soaks fear in my heart
And the thought of dying fills me with regret for the things I have not been able to fix
I try to find happiness in what good I have done
But the happiness is like a cloud covering the moon
When it passes, the real light will come forth
The sadness will emerge in the darkness of light
So what is the point of life?
The morning brings new light
It hides my fears
The night brings darkness
And I am filled with sadness
But the thought of living with this does not scare me
It is the thought of leaving with it, that does the greatest damage
Though I speak of death like a vicious monster
No mercy, no regret
Death can be a relief
A relief from pain and sadness
Relief from the whole world looking at you, looking for perfection
Because being immortal would be like a life of death
You wonder, what’s the point?
I have time, lots of time
But others don’t
They will die
You will stay
Happy?
No
Alone, alone, alone
