Hourglass

A thousand stars fall from the sky
None fall on me
While brightness overwhelms the earth
I sit in the shadows with my eyes closed
Hoping that when I wake
I'll catch my breath
And dry my eyes
In marvel of the light

Closer to the end

Simple words can mean so much
You make me feel stupid and unworthy
And I love it
Still chasing a dream
Still hoping and believing
Another step closer to the end
Another step to a new beginning
