Still

Time escapes me
yet I find myself
running after numbers
like a child chasing
it's dreams
taken off on a midnight train

I am left here
wondering
looking for answers
where there aren't any
hoping against hope
as each hour passes by
though I know they're not in vain
the duration of these moments feels like a lifetime

Purpose is a riddle
laid out before us
revelation's whispers written on the hills
steps unaligned
destination spilled before us
like a glass of milk
There are so many questions
tormenting my heart still
They just leave me restless
Another night,
another worry,
and it all makes me wonder...
Overtired , hurting, eyes
What could
Love was all I could provide


roots firmly planted
centuries of courage extracted
to reveal
a reckless warrior
whose bravery was overtaken by indifference
the cost of a hostage living a pauper's life
There are so many questions
tormenting my heart still
They just leave me restless
Another night,
another worry,
Another bird in a cage
refusing to sing
Anxiety won't kill you
if it hasn't already

and it all makes me wonder...
if maybe I'm alone in this,
now that you're leaving me
yeah it makes me wonder
Why my caged bird refuses to sing
What does follow mean,
when there's no one leading
Yes, it makes me wonder
What life would be like
without all the suffering
I wonder
what's the point in so much anxiety
Control is an illusion
A tall tale for the weary
