In The Absence of Light

 

In the absence of light

I lay in bed waiting

For a full night’s sleep

Haunting, but still evading

 

Thoughts racing to nowhere

Round and round in my brain

Maybe just a bad dream

Or am I’m slowly going insane?

 

Sometimes I forget where I’m going

For thinking bout where I’ve been

Moving forward is all relative to

 A point of reference of where and when

 

Decisions for the future

Analysis of the past

The gravity of destiny and chance

My life from an unintended cast

 

So many people living

The life they were meant to

Happy and carefree

Naturally, they found their groove
