Rhythm

I’ll tell you the truth in a heartbeat
Electricity in meat
Do you see the stars
In my eyes or at your feet
 thought I felt the rhythm
Turns out I was just beat
Tired of the times I tried
To try and met defeat
But I perused the new
Elusive hues in truth
never have I known retreat
See I know I know that times
Not mine to own
And things I know aren’t mine to keep
So I walk around all dazed in slumber
But I’ve never been asleep
Night mares I ride until daylight
When I continue through my dream
And if I share a few with you
Just know my words ain’t cheap
I’ve spent my life of strife  
Trapped in the pen
And used to seek from you relief
But lately I’ve been tuning truths  
That leave me smiling in glee
It seems I’m happy with alone
Because my happiness is me
