Life is Real

Denise Larkin
Feeling all alone
Time has gone by
They don't know how I feel
Because things have changed
Now I see how life is real
Everyone has gone away
And I am still here.

Feel like I am falling
No one knows how I feel
Need a calling
For something special
To make me feel safe.

There are times when I see
And times when I hear
This is not really me
But how can I explain
That things have gone array.

Now I need positive feelings
I want to feel needed
Someone give me a sign
That those I have lost
Will be fine.

Time has flown by
People close to me
Have left this earth
Never to return.

This makes me fall
Down to the deepest hole
Why do I feel this way?
It's a tragic time
I can't explain
This is my fear.

Fear of life
Drags you down
They don't know
How I feel
Because it's real
And it can be intense.

Losing all you have
Losing someone close
Is a feeling of grief
But want to feel happy again.

Now I remember those happy times
When things were calm
People I knew were still alive
And real for me.

But now I realize
That they can see me
But I cannot see them
But one day I will see them again.
