Rise

The dial turns to eleven,
Before it seemed it was only seven.
The sun seemed to set,
Before it ever rose.

The windows are covered,
Before you could see the dark.
The dark is something,
Something you needed to see.

Your eyes are closed,
Before they were ever open.
You'll fail to see,
Just what needs to be.

The dial is almost at twelve,
Before it seemed it was only seven.
The sun is set.

Open your eyes,
Because the sun will rise again.

The Comeback Kid

To write words has been tough,
Honestly, sometimes I write too much.
I think too much, I overanalyze.
And distract myself with a prize.

To watch those around me,
Fall apart too often.
They betray themselves,
Becoming what they hate.

I've promised myself,
Before it this almost happens.
I will be the comeback kid.
And it starts today.
