All this depth
from wondering why

why my emptiness
fill me
with desires
that empty me out

why
i say
all is meaningless
and yet

All this depth
I never seem to get

there i am, instead

Lost
in an endless shimmering sea
Of paradoxes and incandescent lights
Filled with empty promises
of a future
that awaits me

Wanna be somebody?

why i can never find
the space within
to reside
why i keep drifting out
to sea
reaching out
for power, lines
and man-made signs

swimming in circles
making ripples
that remind me
a wave on ocean
is all i will ever be

often wondered why…

Why God,
does the movie start
in a dream?

why does it end
with me
refusing to get out of bed

my emotions rise and fall

Why God,
are we still here?

wondering why…
All this depth
yet, my eagerness to impress
seems to be
what gets the best
out of me

All this depth
yet the ones closest
to me
the words,
never seem
to reach
