Alone I stand
\nin this barren land
\nDon’t know what happened
\nin life as I’ve gone
\nDon’t know how
\nI just don’t know
\nBut I am here now
\nno home to have
\nNo job no food no family
\nI’m sad.
\nThe days have come
\nand the days have gone
\nTime goes by
\nanother sad song
\nI don’t know how
\nto get myself back
\nwhere I was before
\nI slacked
\nI just want to eat
\nsometimes to die
\nthe loneliness it eats away
\nNo family abides
\nNot wanted
\nNo one wants to deal with me
\nI am a sight to see!
\nWhere I lay my head
\nis my home
\nwhether it’s dirt or sand or cement
\nI’m still alone
\nI quietly beg
\nembarrassed to say
\nbut this is what I do
\neach and every day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
