cherish my words

i feel so blind

but i don’t mind

there is no time

and still i’m blind

do you mind?

what you see and

what i feel is all i know

forget what you’ve learned

this is reality let’s talk about it

stuck to the side

we’re marching to the rhyme

of something i wrote myself

tell me that all you need is time.

i want to be moved out of this blind spot.
to be out of control.
to be drawn in by the music.
to run away from fears and tears.
i want to go too far to change and turn back.
i want to watch a sunset.
to listen to the twilight choir.
i want to see the stars shine and hear the crickets sing.
i would love to be held tight and sleep easy.

and for the first time in a long time, i believe that its going to happen.

its time to open the front door.

at the front of my mind.

a familiar song playing softly is what lulls me away from here
i close my eyes in effort to not think of what ages me
i want to know how to do this
to break away from change
to forget about my worries and leave behind the pain
its hard to see when you’re blind
its hard to hear what’s so quiet
indecision to be broken.
a cold death to be prevented in a heart that’s slowly beating
i want a fire so hot and fierce that chases away the darkness
and live to see a promise that was given with requirements.
now is the time, the time to rise up from my bed.
no more sleeping, no more hiding my head
and even if i lose my breath, even if i turn and fail
i now God is with me and He’ll catch me when i fall.
