It Begins

My mind wanders too far for me to catch up

The world seems so foggy

I can’t find my thoughts

I struggle just to collect the memories

That were left behind

Like a whisper on the breeze

When I’m wide awake

As the whole world sleeps

I feel no mercy from the darkness at my feet

I hear the laughter behind me

The pain only I can see

Is it too late for me to start again?

I must believe that every now and then

I can’t leave behind all that I know

So the world can learn

What it should have known long ago

I’ve never come this close to the fire

The truth is all that I desire

Pick myself up to knock you back down

If you only knew how I called for your help

Without making a sound
