Where, what am I, can talk to only my mind
Was I left behind, a solitary mastermind

Dead leaves fall to the ground, the aging tree no life is found
Moon light barely lights the scene, turning grey from the green
The withered roots grow thirsty, commandeering the perversity
Life is projected artificiality, ensnared in my own reality

Uprooted and falling apart, a soulless being dead from the start
Many years proof from the rings, but inside there's something missing

Many words I should of spoke, instead I helplessly choke
Not sheltered from the rain, not protected from the pain

The astringent winter unforgivingly bites, hopelessness grows tonight
The white layer makes thing seem nice, freezing to death to be concise
Will spring months bring any hope, I think not on my uphill slope
Look to the stars for an answer, to recognize I'm my cancer

Uprooted and falling apart, a soulless being dead from the start
Many years proof from the rings, but inside there's something missing
My actions bring only regress, an aching mind that is dreamless
My true self I'll never profess, an entity that is soulless

A perfect path that I wish could cross, time has passed and made it my loss
Two roads to an intersection, my other road in a parallel direction
From here I can see the lane, unfortunately it drives me insane
My other lane has an intersection, to make certain of my rejection
