Great?

It took leaving the city
to see what was there
more to see
means more to miss
and so it was with you.
Take you out of the spot light
away from the crowds
far from distractions
and thats where you shine.

You are like the small star
that hides from the moon,
unaware of the greatness
you hold within.
While moons are like mirrors
reflecting what's recieved
you create light
that shines all around
but humbly you let him glow.

You remain in the distance
offering just a little view
blending into the crowd
and no body knew
that you were the brightest
most powerful star
letting others shine,
you helped from behind
and that was enough.

Waiting

What do you do when all you can do is wait?
Knowing something must change but not knowing what
Is a feeling I get more than I should.
Why do I feel so lost in the middle,
When there are so many paths laid out before me?

Life's Paths

I stand where I am and see two paths
One in the clouds and one on the ground
The ends seen differing drastically.

Through the mist there's a castle.
In dirt, a small humble home
Dwarfed so by the parallel.

Destinations too far away
Make a hard decision for me
So eyes focus on the journey.

One path looks so easy
The other shows hard work.
Both have opposition.

It's amazing how much weighs
On the step I've yet to take
Which decides the road I walk.

So hard to decide
Where I want to be
When everything's done.

But each step that I take
Takes me closer to where
The end's waiting for me.

As I walk on
The choice I made
Becomes more clear.

Each step that I take
Is a choice I made ,
Most without thinking.

I walk on.
Unable
To stop now.

Striving to be
Realistic.
Reaching for stars.

So high
Above
Me now.

If only
I had known
Way back then.

When
I
Woke.

That I
Should not
Waste time.

Insufficient

sometimes i have to wonder just where the insufficiencies lie.
because as i look around i see all the people who'd be wrong for me
and think of how they should change their lives
but then i pause and wonder who's thinking that of me.
i know i've lots that needs improvement; lots to learn
so why cant i fix myself, instead of harshly judging others?

Alone

Sometimes I just want to be alone, and sometimes I am petrified of being by myself. Because when alone, not only do you never know who is watching you, and following your every movement, but you are also completely vulnerable to your deepest inner thoughts--which can be overpoweringly shocking.
