Kind of like doodling, but with words...

Show me chance, I am here waiting by the light of the dawn to pounce on opportunity.

Given the chance I am going to be somebody even if it is only for one night.

This is where I go when I want to be somewhere else, someone else, even if it is only for one night.

Away I slip deeper and deeper into the breath of the chest that flows from the rhythm of my mind, from the waste of my time.

I am anywhere now, stranded and naked exposed. If my heart goes then my soul will follow to the carnage of the fiery surface.

I built this prison so why must I serve in it, when I can use the key that I have provided to let these chains drop onto my floor.

My feet rest beneath me without the purpose of their intent. Where am I now?

I drew the map that got me lost in this moment... I will get like this from time to time and time is all I have and all I have lost with the change of the clock.

I hear the beat now and my foot begins to tap.

The corner brings a new light, thats when I know that you are alone.

So cold like a desert night, so warm because I have me to make my own light.

In a moment of self honesty I have realized that it is the sound of my tears that I fear the most.

The tap of my foot in a hollow home proves that I am here alone.

I turn my music up, I stretch my fingers out, my mind on auto pilot, my hands on the keyboard, tap tap tap.... and words flow like cars in a tunnel in a place far from me.

Headlights provide the glare to stare and daze off into a world where all that exists is the tap tap tapping of these keys.

The beat speeds up and the music begins to grab a hold of me, to make me feel, like I want to feel.

Looking for an ending I call upon all of the emotions that circle the back of my eye lids hoping something shatters from my mind into the ink on the page into an explosion of a revelation... It never comes..

In the end, it is only me.

But hold on... the track has changed in the blink of an eye in the scent of the room.

Now I feel like dancing again into the place that I call home.

The place I face on a daily basis in order to ensure my future is here.

I believe the end of this ramble will come as well, even with so much left to say, I leave.

I will leave it at this.
