pray that my star will again shine so bright

[j10asen]

how did I get here
I am not quite sure
my life seems to have passed
in a blurr

the days seem short
the nights seem so long
a shared room ,a dresser and closet
is this where I belong

my days are filled
with not much to do
change my socks
I don't need any shoes

instead of walking
i'm in a chair
i always need help
to get to and from somewhere

we gather each day
for breakfest,lunch and diner
whoever is first in line
they must the the winner

these people around me
i don't know where they have roamed
they look old, lost and confused
yet we all share this home


i once stood tall
in my prime
i had the pride and glory
for those accomplishements of mine

that time has passed
I am not sure where it went
the laughter is gone
the will to live has been spent

I have no future
only a past
the life I held
slipped through my grasp

each day that passes
is like the one before
a little less dignity
and a little more of a chore

i am more dependant on others
for what i used to do by myself
my glass is empty
i'm like dust on a shelf

pray for me please
each and every night
pray that my star
will again shine so bright
