How do you find the answer....

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...

Creative writing?

Hollow
I awake to the new day with numerous things to ponder.
I mentally make a list of all to do then aimlessly wander.
asking, Is my life reduced to a list? am I so shallow?
is this what I have become? Why?

But then it hits me, and I feel so low
He tells me all of it’s a lie,
And I realize, the world is hollow,
and I, I have touched the sky.

It's You
It's you who knew better, but continued anyway,
It's you who kept the secret, the one that could save the day.
It's you who misrepresented, and turned others astray,
And it's you who won't be there when we sail away.

Never Did
You never did apologize,
 for all those horrid crimes.
For you never knew the pain you caused,
becuase you never took the time to pause.
To see what I was feeling, to even appear to care,
to think of someone other than you and try to be there.
Your angry rises up,
but it is you who is in the wrong.
And it is you who will be sorry,
for by the time you notice, I will be long gone.

How Is It?
Told from the begining just how special that you are.
Your pompous nature,
your arrogant stance,
around us lowlings do you dance.
You pity us, but I pity you.
For at least I have a friend or two.
How does it feel, to be alone?
To be in your self-made prison, on your throne.
No so happy now when left to yourself,
with only your books upon the shelf.
Does it hurt? Do you bleed?
Or have we finally agreed?
For it is better to have friends, 
than to be alone at the very end.

You Never Know
Your smiling face, the funny jokes.
But I can see that you really are a hoax.
No one knows, if they do they don't tell,
That secretly behind those smiles, your in your own hell.
The snide remarks, the jabs at you,
You pretend role off your back, but you really stew.
One day you will finally break,
all the emotions from years will finally ache.
You will feel what you've been hiding all along,
you will wonder if you make it long.
The feelings are too much,
you heart you do clutch.
If you had only let them help, let them in,
let them see you for who you are within.
