Scarecrow

 

Been around too long

to be new to this game

been here, as too many

calendars have flown by

to be blind to all of the signs

but it’s been too few years

to be immune to these tears

 

I've been around these streets

all my life

I've never strayed far from these county lines

never stepped too far out of the city’s confines

but I’ve felt the heartbeat beneath

I've felt the pull of the ground as I've cried

rivers for the love I hide

 

I've been here for so long

but I'm still young enough

to not be too far gone

once, I felt I didn’t belong

I longed to be a song, in another's countryside

in a field of lovers

I was a scarecrow just watching the others

 

I left my heart at the station

as my mind boarded the train

destination anywhere

to escape from the pain

but my feet could never stay away

from the love that resides

in the city outside

the one that brightens up my day

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
