One Night

The darkest night

Makes for the brightest stars

I wish I could take flight

And tour past mars

 

But I’m stuck on Earth

Staring at the sky

Contemplating what I’m worth

Wishing I could fly

 

Oh what I’d give

To get so far away from this place

I’m losing my will to live

I can\'t handle the challenges I face

 

The sky calls to me

It gives me hope

That one day I may be

Willing to drop the rope

 

But for now it will stay

Tied nice and neat

I can feel it sway

As I am taken off my feet

 

As I take my last breath

I wonder if I made my mark

At least I know my death

Will be in the comfort of the dark
