Shine Down

Shining bright In neon lights Dancing to the rhythm Myself my only companion Dressed to kill Drink in hand I spill The earth begins to move I push & shove Stumbling over wasted youth Spewing regret into the open mouth Of Father Time Feeling like I’ve committed a crime My light dulled down To make others comfortable My voice turned down So I can be approachable Dreaming in a web of confusion Lighting the fire with my omission Burning everything I love to ashes Crying as my tears turn to sand.
