Higher

This mirror isn't working

I have no reflection

The sun is high in the sky

But I have no shadow

I put my palm on my chest

I don't feel a beat

I watch the sun rise

Wondering if I'll ever sleep

I miss nothing

Wanderlust is addicting

Am I living or just existing?

If I disappeared tomorrow

It might not make a difference

As transparent as a ghost

Hollow and empty

Some days are beautiful

Others seem endless

Yesterday I was strong

Today I feel defenseless

Home is what you make it

This is where I belong

I won't be pushed away

My body can tire

My spirits can crumble

But my ambition can't be touched

I came here for a reason

I will not leave until I am as solid as the streets beneath my feet
