From Nothing to Something
December 4, 2011
Once cold and empty
Doors closed
All quiet save for muffled laughs
Never had a share
Get out, live life, meet reality
Meet your other half
Fill the empty voids
Leave no stone unturned
Nights filled with excitement
And in the morning...
Another day, another you,
On and off the shelfs
Never the same,
But never too different
The shell is the shield
The key to safety
No pointing fingers or sneers to kill
Maybe spotlight
Maybe the stage
... Maybe that is worth it all?
