No Tomorrow

The overwhelming doubt

Of not knowing whether tomorrow will be there

If not, I wish to break away

And out of my shell

Let my true colors shine

Sow what I've kept hidden

And let the world see the real me.

But not the doubt has taken over

I can't find the rest of today

It's getting harder to breath and think

The never ceasing drums of life

Now slow to a dull throb.

Slipping away before I can be shown

Don't let myself go

Try to convince myself of the ones I'll hurt

If I drift off, the ones I love

Before I fall into eternal darkness

Three words call to me

Hope, wish, dream

And one more only a low whisper

Love

Keep going

Don't fall, don't drift, and don't slip away.

That warm embrace will try to catch you.

But at loud as the drums now sound

I still slip away.
