How I Look: [1.12.08]

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…
