I stand here today, in my own future; Life's reflection glistening through the tears. The shadow of a former self Behind me , through the years, turns and walks away.
Paralysed by fear; I stare my future in the eyes and realise; Still there, returning my gaze A seventeen year old; Cold , reflective At odds with the world; No word, No panic, Just fear;
As I rush by the calm blue sky I wonder why We hide Behind the cloud The sun shines Radiant It illuminates the world Finding a way To stay Still Until Another cloud passes by
