I could sit in this dark space
Looking over vast plains
That comprise my thoughts
And make no sense at all.
I could sit here and laugh
At the absurd nature of it all
The facts of why I came
Are becoming all clear.
I could sit here and stare
At my own worth
That has yet to hold balance
Sorry, but I'm still in the red.
I could sit here,
But then again that would'nt be me
The one to stir the pot
That makes me free.

when enough ink has hit the paper, resulting in words such as these, you will be in the black.
