Please pardon this useless prattle br I'm still naive and the world is blank br br The mind not a squalid ensemble br My eyes still closed br br A heart unbroken; br Dreams the same br br Staring toward unknown horizons br No one travels along side me br br Hoping for happiness br Rewarded with melancholy br br This new life slowly tainted br No place for someone to hold roots to br br Fading away with the noise br Fearing the individual I've become.br br Shane D.
