peculiar

 
spinning in the atmosphere
I tilt sideways and peer inside the glow
dread smiles back and I know
it is one of those days
where peculiar things happen

deja vu I've seen this before
touching my onyx I say alright let's go
lingering in the shadows is fear
but you know
when it's my day it will be as it always was
my moment to shine

some people hang back
with thoughts of what if
it does no good so go out there and live
death knows where you are
it won't be late to collect

it's appointed upon birth
just how many days you have
so make the most of those moments in the sun

turning in the elements is my soul
shining for all it's worth
I am and was always genuine
