Excuses

Light the candles

Watch the flames

Shadows dancing

Spirit drained

The doors are locked

No distractions

Watch the clock

Await reaction

Inspiration

Where you hiding?

Moments wasted

Undecided

Early stages 

Where to start 

Empty pages

Empty heart

You've made excuses for it all

And now we wait to see you fall

You see yourself against a wall

This isolation takes it toll

Make the same mistakes

Try to stay awake and

Make sense of this life

And set it right

The eyes start to wander

The mind tries to ponder

All the ways to comprehend

Why it just won't end

Break the cycle

Take the blame

Right the wrongs and

Fight the pain

Be the reason

It starts to change

Or let it all just stay the same
