Slip Away.
With black all around me,
The sun’s light straining to find me,
Cast into the shadows of a million spotlights,
None are shining on me to give me my chance.
Things close to me have taken their leave.
So, I find myself with a fleeting chance.
A mere obscure vision of what could be,
But I end up wallowing in self-doubt,
And then I can’t leave.
In my mind I want to leave me doubt alone,
Let it fester in my mind, but not bother me.
But I don’t think my body can survive long enough.
I’ve thought of my Utopia; watched it fly away.
Away from my grasp and out of my life,
It was gone.
I’m drowning in this blackness,
The lack of lights forcing me to flip away,
In my tortured mind, I can see my Utopia.
It’s slipped away before; that land of crystallized beauty,
Without it, the blackness will drown me.
I don't want to drown and fade away,
I've missed so many fleeting escapes,
Seen so many people I know slip away,
Taken tiny glances at what could have been,
Don't leave me behind.
I’ll take just one more risk, yet another walk.
To try and force this blackness from my heart,
This may be the last trek I ever make,
But for the beauty I could gain,
Or the blackness that would swallow me,
Let this trek last forever.
Don't let me slip away.
What do you guys think? Not my best, but works for Caleb.
