Crowded Isolation

She sits
At a table all alone
What she thinks, no one knows.

She stands
Heading for the door
With her eyes to the floor

A stranger passing by
Could never realize
The pain that lies within her eyes

Isolated
Broken from within
She forces tears
Just to feel again

Her world around her
Is nothing else but gray
She locks herself in
Nothing left to say

She has nothing left to say

She stares
Through the windows on the train
Just looking at the rain

She walks
To her apartment that's downtown
Her steps lacking sound

She passes by an alley so familiar
It reminds her of time with so much color
She thinks about when it all had left her
Taken by a bullet that had killed her.

He never told her why he did
He never said a word
He simply pulled the gun out
And took away her world

She walks the streets, all alone
She's searching for an answer
For an existence so isolated
Can no one come and save her?

The people around She begs for them
But they cannot hear her screams
So she sits alone all the time
She's tearing at the seems

Isolated
Broken from within
She forces tears
Just to feel again

Her world around her
Is nothing else but gray
She locks herself in
Nothing left to say

She has nothing left to say

She sits
At a table all alone
What she thinks, no one will know.

A Path to Yesterday: Back Cover

My name is Paul Garrison.  At least it is right now.  I have been alive since the Pre-civil war era, and with skills that far surpass the capabilities of any ordinary human, I find the notion of fitting into society to be.... difficult.  As I sit idle, passing time working at a local grocery store, and finding fulfillment through small acts of kindness, a fragment from a past thought to be left behind overturns my relatively quiet life. Now I find myself traveling cross country with two unexpected companions. With a private desire to connect to another human being, I unveil a past long unknown to any living individual, aside from myself. Emotions long suppressed rise back to the surface as memories long forgotten are brought back to life.  As I recap a multitude of lifetimes, the question of my existence is quickly revisited. Traveling to face my past, it seems that this question may be closer to solved than I had thought possible....

A step Forward

A step forward, A world of shows A moment of rest Then we’re off, let’s go. “Where will this take me?” A question most ask But that knowledge isn’t needed For the start of this task. A step into unknown A leap made blind Will there really be Solid ground on the other side? Fear is normal It’s who we are. But it’s when fear doesn’t rule That we really see the stars. But what’s to lose, What holds us back? “Should we stay where we are?” If you’re on the right track. But is it fear That makes us stand still? The fear of the unknown That truly controls our will? Fear is healthy It makes us stop Before you jump, How high is that drop? Risk comes with all This is a fact of life Measure it carefully And avoid some strife. Know yourself Know your restraints Know where to start Know not to hesitate Know that there is no signal No flag or starting gun Know that it is only you That chooses when you run So, make the change Take this step Trust in

Chapter 1: A restless night

I need some air. Tonight, I wasn't content with the stale atmosphere of my apartment. I couldn't relax with the confinement of these four walls keeping me in. Even the exhilarating mental stimuli created by diving into another's created world through text couldn't hold my restlessness at bay. There was nothing particularly stressful from the day, except possibly the lack of anything really substantive. This whole week I've felt like I've merely been surviving, and not advancing in any direction. Not that I was entirely sure what direction I would want to advance in, but I seemed O.K. with advancing for the sake of itself. I sighed, tossed my book to the side, sat up, and examined at my clock, which doubled as a thermometer. 2:43 A.M. 42 degrees Fahrenheit . I looked out my window. Raining. I smiled to myself. Whatever. I swung myself from my bed, and slipped from my room. Moving slowly through my living room, I eventually found myself in my kitchen. Here
