Apathy II

I know where I've been, but where am I going?
Aimless and wandering, I feel like I'm floating
In an ocean of doubts and feelings so blue,
Depressed and lonely, I don't know what I should do.

So here I write, words upon a page;
Sentences meant to contain all my wordless rage
At all this apathy that burns so deeply inside,
Which causes these tears in turn I struggles to hide.

But tears turn to dust before they're able to fall,
Numbed and cradled within my mind's fragile walls;
And even as I crumble, my spirit remains
Chipped and tired, alive within apathy's chains.
