Array ( [sid] => 119025 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Where did I go? [time] => 2006-04-26 16:46:19 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with my life.
I keep hoping something will happen
that will inspire me.
Make me feel enthusiastic
Maybe even passionate

i don't understand what happened to me
I used to be so driven and ambitious
Now I live day to day
Only hoping to make it to yet
another day

As a child I never thought
this is what life was like as an adult
My life is passing me by
and I am not living
a single second of the day

Why am I feeling this way?
Why can I not commit
my energy and efforts
to something..
To something worthwhile?

The highlights of an average day
is enjoying a good meal
and watching tv!
Everything else
is a chore

Tell me is this normal?

Is this the life everyone puts up with?
Tell me what is the point of slaving away
for 8 hours a day
only to enjoy a good meal and tv
As my ultimate reward

I wish i could be inspired again
And enthusiastically take on
a new challenge
a new dream

Where do I get the fire from
to burn my flame?
How do I re-ignite my spark?
And y did mine blow out?

Can I ever get me back?
