Stripped and exposed
Vulnerable to anything…everything
At this point I have nothing to lose
Except…you
The air I breathe isn’t satisfying
The water I drink isn’t reviving
My sunlight isn’t refreshing
The moonlight doesn’t even tell me secrets
Anymore…
I pour myself in the tub
And yet…I still feel dry and deserted
My heart beats at the pace of
An aging lonely man walking down
The street
Fading in the past
Nothing fits anymore
My shadow abandoned me
Along with my everything
One day I’m strong and on my two feet
The next I’m trying to keep myself together
Then finally I’ve fallen into a puddle
Left lifeless…
As the stars reflect on me
I notice how each one has
Their own story
All worth sharing
Mine worth hiding
Paths lay before me
The road I choose to take
Is my decision
I make another option
I choose to sit on the sidewalk
And watch?
Watch the trails go by…
I hide from confronting
My problems, pain,
But most of all…you
With the sky changing it’s shades
I lay on the edge and wish
I could be accepted by the sky
…that would be nice
Never being able to grow
Because every time I get a good start
I get cut down
Stripped and exposed entirely
It’s not how I looked when I was
All together
It’s how I look when I’m in pieces
I look pretty separate…
