Make It Count

by heyitshelen   Nov 12, 2008


Staring out an empty window where faces are vague,
Where the trees are bare, and the people numb,
He glances at his faint reflection
"Who have I become?"

Though his feet are firm against the ground,
His insides are helium, he is 1,000 feet above,
He carves his path in a lonely ghost-town road,
Leaving behind everything he'd once loved

Against the harsh currents of his memory,
He opens his mind to a new day he calls his own,
Through childlike eyes, sees the world in a plainer view
He rides off the rails, embracing the unknown

For so long, he's watched life through a decaying heart,
Arms shaking, mouth dry, a cold sweat upon his brow
For so long, he's watched life through broken glass
But now, he makes a promise to make this time count
