Coming back to Life

A million thoughts in my head,
A mind fuzzed with not enough sleep,
A thousand worries I shouldn’t have
Chaos all around, I’m still in another world

I enter through high arched doors,
Make my way towards the curved stairway
I hear the first faint sounds
A sound that will 'fix' it all
A sound that makes me smile
A sound that makes me forget all that’s wrong

I make my way up the stairs
The sounds getting louder and clearer
The sounds and sight i seek are right around the corner
The stairway lightens up as i climb on
The sound a final turn away
And I head into the shining sun

The thoughts lost,
The mind awakens,
The worries linger no more
And I’m in a world where I belong


Note: Another poem. Is it just me or too many of them here? Still don't think I can write one though.
'The Greatest Game Ever Played' remains a favorite. It rhymed :)

Song Recommendation: Doesn't fit here, but 'The Beautiful Letdown' by Switchfoot is on my mind right now.

The Road (Not) Taken

Somebody tell me what’s wrong
I seem to have lost my way
The urge to get away from a crowd is strong
And alone my far flung thoughts lead me astray


I’m headed down memory lane
Down a boulevard of broken dreams
I have an insight into what might have been
And the bag of choices un-taken is bursting at its seams


Trying to figure out how I got here
The paths so crisscrossed, it’s a maze
I see the paths I almost took, and the ones I did
Smiles await me at the end of the lanes
And not always at the ends of the ones I walked


I wonder what I’d do,
If I could go back and rewrite the past
Would I take on paths un-trodden?
Or would I still be here wondering?


Choices made, shattered dreams, broken promises
Will I ever know where I went wrong?
Maybe if I’d tried harder, held on longer?


Maybe I gave up too soon,
Or maybe, not soon enough?

Note: Just scribbles. Wasn't gonna put it up here, but then, I did.

Song Recommendation: Too many come to mind, but the line that fits the best:

'The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say' -Time
