Not Your Year

Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall
 Some impressions stay and some will fade
 Tattered shoes outside your door, clothes all on the floor
 Your life feels like the morning after all year long.
 Every day it starts again
 You cannot say if you're happy
 You keep trying to be
 Try harder, maybe this is not your year.
 Movies, TV screens reflect just what you expected
 There's a world of shiny people somewhere else
 Out there following their bliss
 living easy, getting kissed
 while you wonder what else you're doing wrong
 Breathe through it, write a list of desires
 Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
 Paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give up, don't give up."
