Fragments of Life

Flipping through the dusty lines
Words are fading, blurred by time
Unspoken feelings left behind
Still on a page within my mind

Bitter coffee, morning light
City wakes, fading night
Crowds like wind, drifting by
Yesterday’s quiet sigh

Photos in my phone
Faces I have known
Time gives no reply
On how to say goodbye

Seeking light in the grey
Finding strength day by day
Memories that remain
Burn through every pain

All these fragments written in my life
Tracing who I am within the strife
Stumbling through, I’ve lost my way
But found a path to a brighter day

If I ever lose the distant view
I’ll look back at what I’ve been through
Every scar and every fear I fight
They all turn into my shining light

Golden sun, afternoon
Dreams that ended far too soon
Secrets I once kept
In the tears I wept

Midnight brings a name
Flickering like a flame
Growth is not to forget
But to live with no regret

Answers in the old mistakes
Power in the heart that breaks
Every flawed design
Makes me brave to shine

All these fragments written in my life
Tracing who I am within the strife
Stumbling through, I’ve lost my way
But found a path to a brighter day

If I ever lose the distant view
I’ll look back at what I’ve been through
Every scar and every fear I fight
They all turn into my shining light

No one knows the way
What tomorrow brings today
But right here, right now
I will shine somehow!

All these fragments written in my life
Turning to an ocean, deep and wide
Every doubt and every lost desire
Becomes the strength that fuels my fire

If the world gets loud and feels so cold
Remember the light within your soul
No more hiding now, no more feeling small
I’m heading somewhere beyond it all

Closing up the dusty lines
The story moves across the time
In every ordinary day I see
I’m slowly becoming... me.
