As I sit here and ponder in journeys in time,

I truly wonder what my new life may find.

Feelings from my heart from sadness that is there,

Only a few friends in this world, really do care.

Walking the brimstone of hell with anguish of pain,

Keeping of memories to keep my self sane.

Asking myself what have I done to deserve what I feel,

With tears in my eyes, I wonder how my new life may deal.

With all doors closing from loved ones and friends,

With the disarray in my life, when will it end.
