It's been a while since I've been here Since I've done this It is quiet and calm but still passionate in its own way Sometimes do you ever feel like the passion you have now is just burn marks left on the wall from a flame thats gone out? I guess I do feel like that sometimes But probably only when I'm tired. Being self aware is a hard thing sometimes, You can't lie to yourself like you used to and you realize all the lies that kept your roof up And now theres no roof and I'm that much closer to the stars because of it but sometimes there's a breeze that blows too cool But then the other night a new friend Asked if we could all share some poetry And I realized That magic and childhood and vulnerable smiles live all around me All the years thinking Knowing there was no one like me No one to call "like me" are long gone
