Retrospect

This small glimpse of light that used to be my life
So visible in this darkness burning bright
I was weighed down by nothing
But I was weighed down by everything
An average morning converted me to light
The sound of that plane still roars inside
I was no one to myself, no one to others
I passed away without saying I love you to my mother
I had so much to live for
So much room to grow
People who adored me
And a love filled home
But I was always blinded
Blinded by myself
And its hard to be reminded
Until the time left expires
No expression, no closure, no meaning
Alone in a space where no one can hear me
I'm forced to look down at the people I took for granted
Struggling, suffering
They genuinely need me
I had so much to live for
So much room to grow
People who adored me
And a love filled home
But I was always blinded
Blinded by myself
And its hard to be reminded
Until the time left expires
And I keep asking myself
Where did I go wrong?
Now I'm just space
And I am nothing
I am the air around you
And I'm so sorry
