Stand Steep
I don’t have anything going for me
I’m a dead beat
Soon to be drop out
I have no job
No money
I have no life
I feel so empty
And worthless
I just I want to get where I’m going
I want to be staring at the ocean watching the sun come up
I want to feel the ocean breeze against my face and blow through my hair
I want to see the stars, and hear the waves crash against the rocks
I want to smell the salty air and have the feeling that I’m so small compared to everything else
So tiny
So meaningless
A simple form, without a destination or purpose
I want to feel like I belong there
I want to feel like I belong here
I want to know that I am someone
That I am here and this is who I am
I want to become what all others have failed to be
I have faults
I have many
But I want to know the feeling of being swept away in my own emotions
My own happiness
I want someone to wash up against the shore
My shore
I want them to enjoy what I have
What I can offer
I want them to love what they see
What they feel
What they can hold in the palm of their hands
And in the palm of their hands, I want my hand to fit in place
Perfectly
I want our fingertips to touch, and feel everything around us as one single being
I want to stand at the edge of our world, our universe, and know, this is it
This is how it’s meant to be
