Here I Stand
I wrote this poem at one of my down times when I wanted to just disapear
Rated:

Avg Rating: (3)
Here I stand
just behind the sunshine
waiting for tomorrow if it comes
and there's no key
so don't try to find me
I packed my bags and moved out of the way
to a place that I can see
everything around me
please believe
the things you did for me
the times we had
that bought me to my knees
and I'm not ashamed
and I don't cry anymore
cause the time is just not right
people look at you and just don't see
and they talk to you
but have nothing to say
leaving you with a hollow mind
so
Here I stand
just behind the sunshine
waiting for tomorrow if it comes
and there's no key
so don't try to find me
I packed my bags and moved out of the way
to a place that I can see
everything around me
I know you care
when the teardrops swell your eyes
so please don't cry today
maybe you can do this for me
say a prayer
so tomorrow may find
where I stand
and on a good day
how do I continue
cause I've lost that key
that takes me to where I want to be
and if on that day it does not shine
remember me
and the times we shared
