Poems I Almost Burned (Along with My Sanity)

Chasing A Shooting Star

Whatever's there, I want to know

Who I am, I've got to show

My dreams have raced right by my fears

And I've felt dead inside for years

Revival is my woeful quest

Redemption is my one request

Bleached by blizzards, mobs, and hell

I'm not quite ready, but oh well

I promise you, I have no plan

I'm getting lost as fast as I can

I'm getting lost so fast but I can't

Give up when I'm not there

I promise you, I know I ran

Into disaster without a plan

I'm getting lost as fast as I can

Though I might disappear

A thousand years and ten days more

I've searched and yearned and cried out for

Nirvana's gate; if it's not real

I'll need a thousand years to heal

I'm caught up in my lonely world

I guess I'm just a lonely girl

I need to feel salvation's light

But you knew that already, right?

I promise you, I have no plan

I'm getting lost as fast as I can

I'm getting lost so fast but I can't

Give up when I'm not there

I promise you, I know I ran

Into disaster without a plan

I'm getting lost as fast as I can

Though I might disappear

So hold on to my steel guitar

I've almost got my shooting star

I left you at the milkshake bar

So sing me warnings from afar

I wonder if, like me, you are

Stuck in mental mounds of tar

Sorry, sweetheart, if I'm far

I'm just chasing a shooting star
