Running on Empty

By
Daily grind:
Not all that hard
but damn boring.
When did life
lose all its colors?
What am I searching for
and when will I find it?

It's not that I need something
new around every corner
(I'm too old for that),
but I need a little something more
to care about
or I just won't care at all.

Life is more,
oh, so much more than I'm living!
Pursuing dreams
means so much more than I'm giving
and I don't know how to live life to the fullest
when I'm running on empty!

Close your eyes:
What's left when you are all alone?
I close mine:
So rich the colors!
It's the choice that's so hard;
when will I make it?

I've got more talents
than I've any right to have
and blessings overflow my cup,
but I need a someone to steer me true
or I just won't steer at all.

Life is more,
oh, so much more than I'm living!
Pursuing dreams
means so much more than I'm giving
and I don't know how to live life to the fullest
when I'm running on empty!

Life is more,
oh, so much more than I'm living!
Pursuing dreams
means so much more than I'm giving
and I don't know how to live life to the fullest
when I'm running on empty!

As much as Shaun fought against the song title, it still became a pretty respectable jam. Find out more about Butcher the Baker here.

Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand.  Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

You stay silent, so afraid to engage, in fear that you'll go getting carried away. ** I'd rather have your hatred than your apathy / apathetic ambivalence. Your indifference is more painful than your ire. ** Give me anger, just don't give me fake smiles / plaster a smile on your face (to appease me) ** Your indifferent posture hurts much more than your ire ** Just going through the motions, I'm an empty husk when you look at me. ** I can't have it all, but I want you to have a chance to ** Not knowing if you're okay makes it hard for me to be. ** The indifference differential / different / indifferent ...
