Alternative Routes
Despite the light creeping in
I am blind as I begin
To pick up a pen to etch it in
Just a kid looking in
At the insides of my own head
What do I know, where have I been?
Too far from home, counting sins
Wish I could trade ‘em for Benjamins
Then again can't buy happiness
It happens to some, others chase it
Captain of my storms when I blaze it
Mastered the chaos; made it a maze
More lost than before
Not much more I can take
Before I break I breath and say
Thank God for the day, a blank page
Good place to lay my crazy down
Sorry for what it smudges out
All my intentions on the ground
Lost my way trying to puzzle it out
Please take alternative routes
Insight I scribble out quickly
Before I lose sight swiftly
These storms morph and follow me
