To Be

A shuffling silence every time I breathe

Words unspoken and a wound left to bleed

Time will tell while others attempt to talk

What if the path less traveled's the one I can't walk?

Tired but I don't want to sleep

Hungry but I can't seem to eat

Anything and everything beneath my feet

Yet all I need and ask to see

The fleeting meaning to be

A reserved eagerness unwilling to refrain

The feeling is here, but it can't stay the same

Storm cellar doors, battling the open sky

When your shelter is a trap, can you still feel safe in the lie?

Bound until the day I am free

Blinded, but I don't want to see

Anything and everything beneath my feet

Yet all I need and ask to see

The fleeting meaning to be

Steadily shaking on the unwavering ride

If it can't hurt you today, tomorrow it'll still try

But hiccups in hope come as the waves

Relentless all together but withstandable all the same

Tired but I don't want to sleep

Hungry but I can't seem to eat

Anything and everything beneath my feet

Yet all I need and ask to see

The fleeting meaning to be
