"Not all who wander are lost." - JRR Tolkien


You know it's getting bad
When your own smile seems foreign
You know you should give up
When hope gets annoying
You know it's ugly
When you can't find beauty in anything
You know your world is falling apart
You know it's getting tough
When you don't enjoy things you used to love
You know things can't get worse
When you won't accept the grace from above
You know you can't go on
When you've lost hope in all humanity
You know your world is falling apart
You know life's not going your way
When you write a song like this
You know you've been hurt
When you're just a person checked off a list
You know you're going insane
When you can't even imagine your future
You know your world is falling apart

This little poem was inspired one hot summer day, when my life seemed to be falling apart.
