Lost in these rooms
Life not as it seems
All of yesterdays
Nothing but dreams
All hopes and promises
Plans washed away
Nothing left to strive for
Taken one sad day
Awakened, painful moans
Recognizing the voice
Where did the laughter go
Sometimes there is no choice
Left counting lonely days
Drying endless tears
Suffering eternally
Waiting so many years
Unreal smiles shown
To save others grief
Smiles given in return
For pain no relief
Locked behind walls
Amongst life's facades
Destined for sadness
Until freed by God.
