i'm standing in a parking lot
filled with the words i'm unable to jot
without a paper and pen in my fingers.
i glance at the world surrounding me and decide to linger
around the emptiness of the night
who brought along a chilling wind that's beginning to bite.
the world beyond where my feet stand,
a dark abyss replaces the land,
and the only lights are the cars that whizz by
who decided we don't need the stars in the sky.
a mid autumn night that's the first that's cool;
maybe it could give me back all the fuel
that i've lost over the many, many years.
maybe my mind could start working when the gears
finally start turning for the first time
and rids of all the growing dust and useless rhymes,
but they'll stay the same,
and i'm the one i will blame
because i'm standing in a parking lot
filled with the words i'm unable to jot
without joining in with the cars
to try to become a rising star
that you'll never gaze at in the sky
no matter how hard i will try.
