Center of Attention

The center of attention
Breathe in breathe out
While stating your intentions
Fable devout
But it’s nothing like the stories said it’d be
When everything was meant for you and meant for me
Sometimes the heroes’ on display for all to see
Sometimes your just a passerby that’s walking down the street
The center of attention
Fade in fade out
A cruel human invention
Feeding self doubt
Still it’s nothing like the stories said it’d be
Facing every day while only being me
I’m not the hero that my younger self had once believed
Sometimes I’m just a passerby that’s walking down the street
The center of attention
Doesn’t exist
A messy apprehension
Floating like mist
So I won’t be like the stories said I’d be
Round the cycle on a forced trajectory
I’m not the hero still existing in a fantasy
Content to be a passerby that’s walking down the street
And they it’s how the story goes

Filling Space

Complacency is normalcy
But will that ever be enough?
And then the fight is gone
And when the fire’s out
Will it be safe to take a breath?
What I’ve know
What I’ve seen
What I’ve learned
What I believe
Singing tone deaf songs
That no-one wants to hear
Spilling everywhere
Making messes in the wake
Of all my fears
Spilling everything
What I’ve known
What I’ve seen
What I’ve learned
What I believe
Where I’ve been
And where I’ll be
Still more to learn
Much more to see
What I’ve known
What I’ll be
I haven’t learned
I still believe

More Often Than Not

More often than not
I’ll find myself at a loss for what to say
While trying to make sense of a
Stream of empty platitudes
More often than not
I’ll sit in silence waiting to come through
With something, anything that sounds
Halfway intelligent
It used to come so often
It used to be so easy
I used to sing about the
Dumbest shit but never cared at all
Can you really go home?
Will it be there?
Be there when you’re grown?
Remember when we wanted this?
When the days were our weeks and the years were our decades
Impatiently waiting for the day
We’d work and pay our taxes
When bedtime was 9 pm
And our knees didn’t creak and our backs didn’t hurt
When anxiety was only a word
On a question you missed on your fourth grade spelling test
It used to be so simple
It used to feel so safe
Before we all grew old and
Saw the luster fade away

Legacy

Why are you trying so hard
To make sure you won’t fade away?
You are too concerned with playing God
To realize your part to play
Is something
You’re something
And something is enough
Why are you trying so hard
To find the sense in all of this?
What would you do with a legacy?
Do you realize you’re something more than memories
Than memories
You’re not just memories
You’re something more than everything you’ve been
The sum of everything you comprehend
Your story has a start a middle and an end
So where and when will you begin?
Let’s not pretend
It's not the end
