Nightlight

hearing
street cars
passing by.
lights of
Frisco
are twinkling in the night.
wondering
if I'll
wake up from this life,
as I try to fall asleep.

sideshow
memories
flashing by.
was it
worth the
ache I have inside?
too long
since I
felt like I belonged
here.

"it's the struggle that creates us,
you just have to persevere."
that's got to be the
last thing
I wanna hear.
trying isn't easy
for everyone.
I know that crying's not an option,
it can't help you
overcome.
but when you're stuck
inside your head,
and feeling like
the next step you'll take
is off a ledge....
