Post 624: Looking In (1/27/13)

Looking In (1/20/13 c, 1/27/13 w badly)

I can finally, finally see

At least metaphorically

How my life can be 

All of my life the same five channels

Always on but nothing to see

Channel one

My life of romance

Stories cancelled before their time

Hearts that I could just never seem

Never seem to find

Never mine, mine to keep

Channel two

Professionally

I think of way I thought things would be

I couldn’t be more wrong

I thought I would have a career that was going strong

All I see is wasted, wasted time

I guess it was never meant to be for me

Channel three

Family

Static, because I thought there would be

Something here

But it was not meant to be

There is no love no, love for me

Channel four

Hope

The only thing that I can see

Is outrageous dreams

Like the dream of me winning the lottery

Would somehow solve everything

Along with the security it would bring

Channel 5

The future

Remains to be written

But I’ve seen enough, enough TV

To know how this should be

If only there could, could be

A happy ending, a happy ending for me
