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.
