The morning light peers into the room
My eyes open as those thoughts begin to loom
My mind wanders from place to place
Struggling to compensate
For lost time, and lost dreams
For distancing myself from the world I see
For not excepting the reality
No more obsession of the truth
A Token of what I longed to know
I can no longer walk around with my broken heart,
using it like a veteran’s discount.
I can’t hide inside from
The changing winds
My everything, my light
Fading dim
Give me a moment to breath
In the new air that I now live free
