I see where I came from

Where I went

Living happy and proud

All the things around

 

Nice shoes 

Nice house

Nice cars

My mind

 

The days pass me now

The thoughts surround

One more day

Or evening perhaps

 

Just to wrap my head around

The things I found dear

One more minute in the moment

Is all I wish

 

It all came crashing down

Burned to the ground

A smoldering pile of dreams

Turned to ash 

 

I'm still standing

Not so tall

Or even proud

But I'm around

 

I only wish

Someday somehow

I'll stand tall again

Through it all

On top of a mountain

So high above

 

Where I came from

How I was raised

Dirty and poor

Always alone

 

I made a name for myself

A life I could live

Be happy for

 

It went out the window

Down the road

Flashes in my eyes

Here I am alone
