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.
