A long way I’ve come,
Through brash decisions and regret.
Summing my days up,
Anticipating moments I’ve dread.

Closure comes from within,
But not to me, it doesn’t.
It’s lost somewhere down the line,
Somewhere, it musn’t.

Real feelings and emotions trapped,
Behind this facade they hide.
With none to understand what I go through,
Alone, I ride....

An open window, slowly closing,
Plunging my world into the dark.
Shutting the light from streaming in,
Showing me reality stark.

Confusing this sense of being,
Making me wonder what is true.
What’s right, what’s wrong,
What’s required for me to do.

As I’m left by myself,
Grasping for air within.
This window is closing quick,
Telling me I’ll never win...

Lone yet together,
For days and days to come.
Extending to forever,
No matter how tiring the run.

Clueless days and impatience,
Commanding into being numb.
Every night a sweet dream,
Brightness outshining the sun.

Random memories pass by,
Inking a trail on their way.
Hold strong, hold high,
For tomorrow’s a brighter day....

Aimlessly staring around,
Awaiting destiny’s call.
Life is loosening its grip,
Letting me go, letting me fall....

A faint feeling that numbs,
Makes me thoughtless and empty.
Closing me into darkness,
A painless sense of resenting.

The rhythm of the world that is,
Ticks by with every passing night.
Complicated, this situation,
So wrong, yet so right.

I have to wait this out,
No other option that I have yet.
The opportune moment when alive,
A leap of faith to make...

Strumming these strings,
Penning for some space.
Just mulling over and over,
Trying to find solace.

Seen enuf, heard enuf,
Beat around it and thot over.
Done everything possible to help it,
Realized I was nowhere closer….

A new dream i see,
With eyes glistening in wait.
A new reality to be,
A leap of faith to take.

The breeze rustling my hair,
Caressing me, slowly passing by.
The sun setting across the sands,
The beauty of it seeming to be a lie.

The trees swaying and whispering,
Canopying me into shade.
Sparks that rise, brighten my heart,
As the lights seem to fade.

It's those fading lights that push me on,
That dream that keeps me going.
In the face of growing adversity,
I feel my heart gradually slowing....
