THROWN AWAY

In a world full of chaos, I stand alone.
I stand here and watch as life passes me by.
Like a car zooming down the highway, life just rushes past me.

The times I could have done something significant
And the moments where I should have cared.
The details that once dwell in my mind, I no longer know.

The seconds tick loudly in my ear, like a bomb begging to explode.
The people dodge by me, pushing me over and walking over me
They lost hope in me long after I stopped trying to live.
I planted myself in my mind, so no one could see me.
No one could trip over my thick roots and long branches
They can't blame me anymore
They can't stab me in the back.

But as I stand here, the chaos slowly resides.
The crowds disperse and the roads clear away
No more cars, no more bombs
Just me, the road, and the sky.

And when I look at the sky, I can see the stars
Like salt that was thrown away.. like I was thrown away
But when I look at the stars, that's not what I see.

Someone who isn't afraid of like
Who stands bravely and spits in the face of evil
Someone who has a heart of gold
And a smile that always graces her lips
When I look at that girl, all I can see is I wish I could be.
