Creeping - Threnody

Wondering what the day may bring

Still wondering at first light

Life promised so much to be

Quiet it does seem to me

Waited for a moment to be

What all expected of me

It has all gone away

Quiet feeling of dismay

Twisting, turning, restless fury

It wants to be free

Rattling the chains, chains that cage me

It wants to be free

Wondering late till early light

Feeling that something isn’t right

They have all gone away

Creeping feeling of dismay
