Through New Eyes

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

tonight 
i lay awake in this vast world that has become my own
wallowing in between the lines of mere fascination
not with how the stars shine in their luminous way
or how the robin comes out each spring 
in hopes to make her nest
but with all that has past within the days of my life
and what is still yet to come

it seems obvious i am growing up
wanting to go off on my own now
and going after that dream as hard and as fast 
as i possibly can
everyone else seems so far away 
cast out in the ugly world
struggling to fight, to live, to go on 
and become enriched in some sort of mediocre way
i never did fit in with the rest of them
then again i never wanted to

people i once cared for
that once held some sort of place in my heart
now seems of no great illusion
of course there's care left
yet now it's expressed in another way 
other then through actions
time i spend, is time spent with those that shall leave soon
not with those who i will see within the next year
nothing matters much anymore
for why should it

in just 5 short months, everything has changed
no longer looking through distorted eyes 
hateful, revenge seeking mouths
i have become alive with a sense of utter abandonment
of all that i was
and who i used to be
hello to this new life of mine
goodbye to lost teardrops
 
pardon me for ever saying i died.
