Perspective

So many miles behind me

Spent traveling on this road

So many lost along the way

Who could not bear the load

Sidelined by some detours

Lonely, cold and lost

A prisoner of my regrets

Surveying what it cost

The price for all those feelings

Paid with all those tears

All the things I thought had mattered

Were victims of the years

Ten years becomes twenty

As times just slips away

Looking for some answers

Or just a place to stay

A place beyond this empty void

Far from the pain and strife

Where I can see things clearly

And make sense of this life

Earthbound

I’ve been earthbound for too long now

So afraid to touch the sky

Far away from all the freedoms

I knew when I could fly

I’ve been grounded with no flight plan

Only flying in my dreams

In a void south of reality

Where nothing’s as it seems

My wings are bent and broken

My heart is broken, too

From dreams that died in transit

Before they could come true

I have no navigator

I see no runway lights

No clearing me for takeoff

No plans for future flight

My wheels have turned to anchors

That tie me to the ground

And the clouds on my horizon

Hide the love that might be found
