Dark
Day bright.
But all I feel and know is fading in front of me.
Like the street night that slowly goes out as the sunrises each morning.
Searching for clues that will solve what you need to know.
May turn out to be great or they may shake-up your life for good.
And once those secrets are our there is no going back to what you thought was the full truth.

come and go from my brain and each day I wonder will I ever run out of things to say.
Some days it’s nice to just not say any words at all.
Just listening and watching others sing or talk gives me some peace of mind .
It’s like talking all the time just feels up the space where silence is but, sometimes it just nice to be in the silence.
To not feel pressured to say something more just to make sure the other person doesn’t feel ignored.
Yet, It’s nice to hear what others have to say and just sit back and not have to join in the conversion for you have things to do and talking sometimes takes your focus off the task ahead.
So words please come and go for I know when you come it will be good and when you go that gives me time to work things out so when you come back what I say will be so much more intense and interesting to hear and read.

and right now there is no hope in finding what was once me.
Being pulled in so many directions I just can’t keep up anymore.
They want so much from me but, if I ask something it’s like I’m the one being ungrateful.
How much longer do I have to walk around feeling like a zombie
moments of my day just slipping by me that I can’t keep track of the time that seems to be going by so much faster than I thought.
I don’t know who or what is coming at me first and as I try to keep up
I fall flat on my back and as I lie down, I don’t want to even think or want to get back up.
Lost to what I love and lost to those that love me is there any hope at this point.

you need me the most but, when do I get to rest and not feel so tired and empty.
Do I get to feel like the breeze is blowing towards me with such a nice pace instead of high winds that are always trying to knock me down.
Do I truly know you because you want to put me in a box and hope that box will keep me happy.
I haven’t wanted to get out of this box so badly before this day and I know the lord will bless me in the right direction.
For I must struggle to get the place I’m meant to be and there is nothing holding me back right now not even myself.

Like the fire you move me
And I wish I could say more.
As the night ends
Will I ever get another chance?
At a moment like this.
