This Thing Called Life

Laying on the couch Eyes wide open Somehow I feel My feelings cannot hide The world all around me Seems like a mystery I look for hope and answers In everyone I see So many things I question So much I don't know Many people seem so empty With feelings that never show Their faces always stoic Their expressions never change They live their life day to day Always staying the same But I can't tell by their face If they even have a heart You never see them smile To me that's where it starts To me they seem so very cold They always keep their distance It's like they like to feel this way So they never show any resistance I guess they can't be changed But then why should they be I don't think I'd like it much If others tried to change me I guess it's fair to say We're really all the same Just living our way through Life's mysterious game 12-6-07/RJH
