Wasted

my life has been wasted
just used up till it has no more meaning
than the trampled earth
it has been stomped on
and walked over
no one seems to notice
the "do not trespass" sign
they knock it down and
come right on in
prowling through secret affairs
i would rather keep hidden
they try to make it better
but they don't succeed
for there is nothing i hate more
than people to trample on
my wasted life
