Stuck In Orbit
Here I am
Stuck in orbit
Which satisfies my need to run
But feeds my need to return
I question who I am
The fractured and torn apart soul
Who tries to leave whilst marching back
Here I am
At the furthest point
The point of no return
You can never travel back
To fix the past
But how can cycling back around
Mean no lesson learnt but harm repeated
Here I am
Who'd have thought it
Destined for destitution
Yet riding high on the axis
Never quite burnt up in the atmosphere
But neither stronger, weaker nor wiser
Just hopeful
Here I am
Believing this is the time
You won't just sit whilst the World turns
You'll see the stars or the sun rise
Engage in the journey
I won't just narrate the life you could lead
Your dream will be your reality
Here I am
One of the dreamers
As we watch chances whizz by
You allow them all to pass
I hold each in my hand
Me certain each is the last opportunity
You certain tomorrow is the day
Here I am
Doing my best
Remaining in orbit
Not knowing why
My purpose being perpetually torn
Occasionally shouting to the Heavens
That there is still a chance for you
