Following the horizon

i can't look over the horizon 

but i know something is waiting 

in the orange and red 

that follows 

the setting sun 

something is there for me 


 

i knew someone 

who once wanted to swim across the ocean 

cause he thought he could find

who he was meant to be 


 

every time i pass by 

a part of me believes 

that somewhere 

deep 

          deep

                     deep

within 

            me 

and 

            you 

there is something 

waiting 

             to 

be 

     let free

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician
