And so Many Little Nothings to Say

If I couldn't then I would
For who doesn't enjoy
The sweet taste
Of bitter failure

And as I sit
Arms crossed
Staring
At the hole in the wall
I think of the times where it wasn't

I remember when I,
Having not yet existed,
Set foot
on this world

A dark place
Filled
With so much light
And so many little nothings to say

Lost in the Dark


Even in the black of night

Hope is out there shining bright
But by the time we reach the dawn
It seems our hope is simply gone

Why when we are so low
Does the light of hope glow?
And when everything is alright
No more can we see the light

Can we not appreciate life?
Until we’ve had heartache and strife?
Why do we need to choose?
Only when there’s none to lose?

There seems no purpose for a light in the day
For we have the sunshine’s ray
But some people will never learn
Haven to some, and others: Sunburn

For a tragic few
There’s nothing they can do
Night or day
There’s nothing to say

These few never try to make their mark
Sad and lonely
Lost in the dark
