The Quiet Weight

Share

The sun goes down, the shadows grow,

The winds of fate begin to blow.

I walk the path I chose to keep,

While all the world is fast asleep.

​A heavy heart, a steady hand,

I build my life on shifting sand.

No empty words, no hollow pride,

With nowhere left for us to hide.

​The clock will strike, the stars will fade,

I face the ghosts that I have made.

A man young at age, old in soul,

Who paid the price to stay in whole.
