The Lights

by Tianna   Nov 5, 2009


I don't know what to write
This room is very bright
I don't know what to say
All my words are running away

I'm running out of time
I don't even have a dime
How am I suppose to pay?
With the words I can't find to say?

My head is spinning around
I hear nothing but random sound
The lights are going dim
My life is craving in

Everyone is telling me what to do
Just like they did when I was two
It's my life, I get to choose
But the damage I cause I can never undo

You think you have all the control
But I'm the one that pays the toll
you believe i can't do whats right
but it's time to show you all my might

My mind and heart are stronger than most
And of course we all have our hidden ghost
I'm not perfect, I'm only me
the person you always want to see

But you don't see me for being me
You want me to be a perfect key
To fit inside the perfect little lock
The only sound I hear is tick-tick

The clock is ticking
I'm feeling sick
Either way I go I seem to be trapped
Can someone please get me a map?

The lights are down to a roaring glow
I have to make a choice I know.
I can't be who you want me to be
The only person I want to be is ME!!!

    While I find some of the rhyming a little predictable I actually thought this was a rather charming piece. If you worked on the flow of your lines a bit I think it would be great. Nice work, I enjoyed it.
