Not Enough

Walking through the streets, music in hand

Hearing of pain only he can truly understand

Wishing he can help when he feels her screams

Hoping that he won't have to go to this extreme



With his mind shrouded in darkness, blind

He himself with dancing with fate, entwined

Out of the night screams a piercing light

It stops short; to his dismay he is alright



Thinking back, the events earlier that day

Pulling his life closer, then pushing them away

A question is asked, one full of deep sorrow

"Why must you always sentence me to see tomorrow?"



Yet thinking more deeply, it suddenly occurs

Is his life meant to be his, or is it really hers?

Or is he to help them all when things get tough?

No matter how much he does, he can read their bluff

Falling to his knees, he yells, "It's not enough"

True story, I was almost hit by a car around 10PM, 7/11/06. Someone(s) must still need me here.
