Running on Empty
© N Noël Nov 2008
My mind is empty my soul so full.
Making it through each day don’t
know, how why or if I should.
Give up, walk away run or fall down.
Each day runs together no noise or music just silence
hitting the ground.
Running on empty today and yesterday.
My mind is empty but my soul so full.
Keep dragging my worries and yester years just a bucket full of tears.
Dripping silently ready to overturn.
Need to drop them escape go far away from here but the shadows keep
Following, whispering, haunting and dancing in my head.
Keep looking for understanding of things that were said.
All the questions are tapped swirling in my head.
This tunnel called my soul is left unfed.
Running on empty my mind is empty my soul so full wish to get out of
this barren neighborhood. Change my zip code, area code start a new
time zone. No records of past mistakes would ever be found. The life I once
knew buried in the ground.
Wrapped up and held down in my own world of thoughts. Get me off
this ride and away from what hurts. Fixed past, what future it’s all the
same just repetition running circles in a small cage.
Running on empty my mind is empty my soul so full starting over may
be an option but which way does one go if you’re walking in circles
knocking on the same door.
Does it ever matter when the outcome is the same
Just can’t be bothered cause it’s all in vain.
Running on empty my mind is empty my soul so full
each day no different yesterday is still today.
Take your chances and just stand still maybe it will all go away.
