Poetry

The Next

written by: OurSacredHonor

This all seems endless
Because we take it for granted
We have all been uprooted
Because our roots weren't firmly planted
We're unaware of our wrongs
And we fabricate lies
To explain to ourselves
The sweet night skies
Why can't we for once
Look with awe and appreciate
The moment we're in
Rather than anticipate

The next day
The next night
The next loss
The next fight
The next wrong
The next right
The next shadow
The next light
The next...

This all seems tireless
And the stars seem too far away
I can't concentrate, I can't clear my head
I don't' know what to say
These words like those stars
Are coming far and in between
And I'm not sure if you'll be able
To understand what I mean
But I promise you I'll try my best
To help you see through my eyes
I'm afraid that even if you do
In the end you'll still be blind

The next word
The next one
The next bullet
The next gun
The next standoff
The next run
The next second
The next sun
The next...
