Who knew Late night constructs Could turn into such Disastrous dilemmas My mind races But not around a track Or some make-shift run way Where runners go To get away from such issues I stay the course Practicing patience As if I really knew What made people want to stay It's sad Because I really do Is that silly? Am I foolish? For wanting to be here To stay so still Thus eliminating progress To provide some sort Of comforting process To rest on the simple fact That things just aren't that simple Are they?
They say Every day Passes by a thousand times Like a movie fluidly stuck on rewind Every day A thousand hearts swell And a thousand more need restored Every day A new life starts with innocence Yet lives are lost Every day At war or at your local drug store It occurred to me that Every day Everyone Sees Every day The same Don't you see? That Every day You have the chance To pass the time between sunrise and sunset You have the chance Every day To spend time with someone you love or never met Every day People collide in times of trouble Making struggle and strife offset Every day A phrase is framed That can take your breathe away Don't you see?

The wind blows and it too manifests what it must to stay alive and this I understand To fight even when everything within you says enough already one feels only natural to expand as far as the limits allow every once in a while but what then when critic and conqueror meet?
The errands of love need not explain this land to me because I see how the flagpole quakes without permission I know what it takes when there’s nothing left to behold to require more of what you love because the craving exists and that’s reason enough
So exhale and be free swallow this gathering of blemished stone and unbecoming flesh make it more whole than you deem worthy remember it’s this type of longing you seek
