I'm not from here.

(I don't actually have any newer poems so I'll just post this song I wrote until I get something going. After all, I find many poems to be simply unsung songs.)

I've been standing here waiting
for time to unfold
mind quietly debating
if I can do this right
before I get old.

I've grow so tired
of fighting all the time
until the well of inspiration
simply runs dry
searching for the answers
for a reason or a rhyme
they say to find your life
that first you must die...

I become so frustrated
at life's endless trials
the honor seems overrated
when weary feet have walked
for mile upon mile.

There's a time of innocence
when laughter can be found
before the weight of endless sorrow
overwhelms the heart
in a time before your dreams
come tumbling to the ground
please, can anybody bring me
back to the start?

They say the garden was lovely
a paradise lost
the gate is hidden now, from me
the way to life is sold
at a terrible cost.

If I could find the key
I'd simply slip away
I would say goodbye to this old life
with no regrets
I'd begin my life brand new
I'd start again today
I know there's hope somewhere
don't bury me, yet...

don't bury me, yet...

don't bury me, yet.
