The door ajar is large and heavy
Standing silent strong and steady
Long ive waited here this way
How long its been I cannot say
My hand it reaches for the handle
The other clutching dear a candle
And as the door swings wide before me
I half expect the visage gory
But in the light of candles flame
My fear subsides replaced by shame
I pass the threshold of my fortress
Spirit emboldened now i'm dauntless
Then floorboards creaked beneath my toes
My mind is darted back to foes
Swinging candle in the dark
The light blinks out in clumsy spark
Shielding from imagined blow
Forward running here I go
Then feet are cold on bathroom tile
Destination found I risk a smile
For now my journeys halfway there
No longer feared of creaky stair
And when returned to comfy bed
This fear will fly from sleepy head
As slowly mind is lost in space
My dreams returned in startling pace
Today flew me by
gone in a flicker of my eye
pushed by the torrent of invinsible time
today it seems I forgot to capture mine
It may be a sign that I am young
Of a time I am still free
With my song not yet sung
My time yet to be
A time where I hope to do nothing
A time of no time
A time where I drink, dance and sing
A time I crave the sublime
In this time I am meant to carve my future
A future of strength
In a place I should be able to Nurture
In this world where my life plays its length
But that time slipped by again
I was alocated nothing today
I will giveup then
To wander a timeless stray
No time for fun
No time for me
No time to find what I can be
Unless of course
I catch that time
I grip down hard and make it mine
Then what could I achieve
In this world of messed up dreams
Where could I go?
Who could I be?
Maybe I could hold the world above my head
Have people follow where I have led
Fill the world with joy and love
With time to fit me like a glove
The sky's the limit in my dreams
But for time thats not enough it seems
For time demands my blood my sweat and tears
Time demands great effort and the passing of many years
I soar into the mighty heights
where glist'ning wings 'pon sunshine bite
with land beneath so rough and ready
This cloud supports my body steady
Now woken from my softly cloud.
By sound so wondrously deadly loud.
A foghorn from the watery deep
Awakened me from beauty sleep
The world no more a charming dream
My senses summoned, nighmare scene
A bleary morning bright and brisk
My breath about me floating crisp
I yawn I stretch and am awake
But lo behold again i'm late
I reach up to my dreary head
My body gripped in strenuous dread
Now rise as if from cannon fired
My legs my arms my lips are tired
My coffee, clothes and keys are got
And out the door like bullet shot.
A caffiene drip trailed from my shirt
My only hope to keep alert
Through screens and screens of boring words
Which plague the page in raging herds
To a messy desk I do abscond
To sup my drink and stare beyond
A gleam of hope deep in my eye
For late tonight again I'll fly
Destitute and in the gutter
I stare towards the stars
As coughs rake through my frail my broken body
I cough and roll I gasp and splutter
I am nothing, I am dead, I am rotting in the drain
I look up again to Points of light
So far away the stars shine bright
Unobtainable silver shards against the dead of night
I drown deeper in to darkness, my life slips away
Forgotten dreams are lost forever
Lost in my darkened mind, my bad decisions
Who am I?
What have I become?
I am refuse collected at the break of day
My body stares towards the dimming stars
My soul is gone
Who was I?
What did I become?
