Another August Day

It’s just another August day.

Facing reality brings too much pain and fear

A numbness that will stay 

For years to come. 

I’m left shattered,  

I’m left confused, 

I’m left alone, 

While I lay in my bed, 

Listening to the annoying voices of the radio, 

I know it was really too good to be true.
