Grasping For Stars In The Light Of Day

I’m sitting here writing with a pounding heart
And I don’t want this fresh, new start
But I don’t want to stay and die
To live my life as a passing sigh
Contentment frozen in another time
Reread in someone else’s rhyme
And I’m standing still afraid to move
Not knowing what I try to prove
But I know that I won’t find it here
And I won’t stop because of fear
I have to move forward and beyond the past
Give into the time that’s fading fast
I’m hoping for something I can’t explain
With nothing to lose and unknown gain
Moving out into a different day
Finding the world in my own way
An unseen country by my own eyes
An island where my future lies
A foreign people, palms, and sand
Tomorrow my home on unknown land
It’s not my first path on shaky ground
Just another song with a different sound

The title of the poem alone demands comment; which is very cool by the way. I liked this allot. It is hard not to empathize while reading it. Very consistent intensity and pace from the first line to the last as well.

I know this one had to make you feel a little better. When I read it, it felt like you poured all of your sad and aprehensive emotions onto the paper. Beautiful. :)

Nice piece! Your relocation is surely making for a lot of inspiration - I really like the lines "Not knowing what I try to prove But I know that I won’t find it here". That captures how I've felt at times in my life... Ciao, T/S

Very nice. It had good flow to it, and most importantly, it was expertly written. Great job liquid. Keep it up.
