The overwhelming feeling you get
to let go of every regret.
The wish that you were someone else
just to hide from your self.
The wanting to turn back
but knowing you can't change the past.
To look up and count the stars
hoping that someday you will be where they are.
To look down on all the people who have looked down on you
to realize that everything they said, may have been true.
To gaze over this world and no longer care
and maybe then you could join me, way out there.

Eating from your hand
you have it all planned.
Worship the sun
feeling as though all is one.
Darkness consumes
your thoughts, it eludes.
Shake their hand
just so you would feel like a man.
That thought that ticks in the back of your mind
you can not escape, when it is your time.
Not one of death
not your last breath.
To realize you are not alone
and when you left, your dim light shone.
Brighter than the most magnificent sun
now you feel that you are one.
Still alone
as your mind ticks in its reckless home.
Won't be long...
