From The Depths

Alone
I’ve walked the night
Restless
Thoughts keep turning
Far worse to be unseen
(seen)
Weary
My feelings burning

How must I contend with this?
Nom de plume?
(genesis)

I soar ever higher from shadows!
The depths I have become!

“Why can't you still see me?!”
“Why can’t you see past the man I’ve become?!”

Alone
I’ve done what’s right
Desperate
Days unrewarding
Far worse to be undreamed
(dreamed)
Polite
My hidden plans gnawing

How must I contend with this?
Nom de plume?

Yes, yes, my behavior!
You’ve worried and watched me succumb!

“Why can’t you still see me?!”
“Why can’t you see past the man I’ve become?!”

I know
(It’s getting late)
I know!
(time has run aground)
I’m tired …
(saving face)
And I know
(once for all)
This journey’s just begun

I soar ever higher from shadows!
The depths I have become!

“Why can’t you still see me?!”
“Why can’t you see past the man?!”

(far away gone)
