Along dusty shade I float, squinting

Bright rays set a stage where my shadows play  
dark thoughts on a sunny day  
 
Spotlights see my pale weigh  
 
Long clear nights watch me fade away  
 
stuck inside  
 
Dark, grey skies see my bit of shine  
 
Puddles reflect my brave  
oughta be pitied spine  
 
I'm often  
seen slumping through the rain  
wishing for what ain't mine  
My brain ain't fine, train ain't flying  
 
Tracks don't lay, my plane is dying  
in a station delayed for time  
 
for infinity  
 
Sin my sea, un-hem my jeans  
feed me poppy seed  
or bend my knees till  
they pop and bleed  
so I may feel like I'm not alone  
 
Make my world mean  
something  
or  
squeeze my throat  
to end these groans  
it's too bright outside  
for a pen tote, ghost  
living as an untanned note  
to a sad song  
echoing off of corner mould  
 
could someone turn the lights out
at sunrise
