Glow In My Eye

As I sit here, glancing at the world,
The glow in my eye slowly fades.

Waiting in anticipation, 
The glow in my eye slowly fades.

Questioning where I stand in the minds of my peers,
The glow in my eye slowly fades.

I sit here wondering, where the time goes,
The glow in my eye slowly fades.

Though the glow in my eye may be gone, time and life keeps moving on.
I can not stop moving forward,even though every step feels like eternal horror. 
The glow in my eye.. is gone
