Don't know where it comes from

Run and hide from me
I would too if I could
You don't see me coming
You don't watch for me
I know where you are
I wonder what you're doing
But I know you don't care
I wouldn't either, if I weren't me

The days went by until they became decades. Unappreciated time gone by, allowed to pass without an effort to change an instant. Forgotten moments, unworthy of an existance. Years that had no meaning. Accomplishments that never became. Wasted breaths, worries and sorrow. Misspent hours doing nothing to honor the spirit. No wonder of the amazements of life itself. An immunity for the inability to even lack of respect for what is happening now, who is before you and beside you.

Today I woke up aware, aware of the time gone by. I woke up to wonder who have I known, what have I seen. I woke up to nourish myself with what comes before me. I thrive on the knowlege that I have neglected for so long.

Take not away my dreams
the hopes I have that fill my heart
the promises I give myself
I give away my love too freely
cheaply, as a piece of bread
though it's worthy of a thousand heavens
I beg as though a peasant I were
not a penny in my pocket
not a roof to cover my head
I am shattered, crystal thrown to brimstone
by thoughtfulness meant for the mend
I will smile through my tears
The power I have given could conquer all
Could shave the clouds from heaven's vault
And frost the flames of the lower world
While I shake and tremble in fear of myself
I will survive my own trials
and gift myself with further tribulations
Questions abound in my mind
Where is my joy, my enchantment
How do I keep my peace of mind
The answers murkily dwell in the swamps
amidst the forest of above ground roots
the depths not as deep as are betrayed
Where the ogres are held vicariously captive
The gates defective
I give away far too much of myself

I am not me, I am everyone
I am no one, although I am
