Just An Imitation Poem by Joshua Carlsen

Just An imitation

The sunrise, awoke me from a crazy dream
Relieving scene's locked up in the past it seams
I try to feel, but I just can't take the truth
So much time wasted, The old world feels so unreal
I try to get myself up, force myself to take a walk
It's a sunny day, but I don't think I feel O.K
I'm stuck in my mind, just aimlessly digging around
Hoping for life, that better times will be found
No one cares that I'm here
Their in a glass shelter, They can't feel the fear
I look at the sun, but it's moved on its way
It's just an imitation
From my imagination
It's not here, it never was
It's from the past
Nothing found is meant last

Try to calm myself
But it's clear that, I'm sinking down
Stuck on Earth, I carelessly roam around
I passed some old friends, walking down the hall
Do they know me? I can't recall
I didn't know just what to say
They've changed so much in their own ways
It's all a blur, no night or day, all that's left is shades of gray
They're just imitations
From my imagination

What has become, of the times I knew
I was so carefree, always had a laugh
But now all I see, is a dim, rocky path
People always here,broke my fall
But my mind had glitched, no one cares at all
Time's just an imitation
Can't fix the situation
I know their gone
But I'll keep myself
I won't stay down
I'll walk right on

I've had my share of rain and strife
I lost myself, and almost my life
A part of me, will still remain
They say I've still got lots to gain
But I can't stand, I'm tired as hell
How much longer I've got, time will tell
This life's so dull, it's such a bore
I cannot really tell what I'm fighting for
I'm Just an imitation
It's all an imitation
