Poetry From A Caged Soul

Some Nights

Some nights

I would steal away

from my house

stand on my toes

and reach for a star

so I could return to my bed

with enough light

in my heart

to keep the monsters away

Some nights

I write my own stars into the sky

and tell the ghosts

behind my eyes

to settle down

I'm not lost

and I'm not unfound

I'm just off-road

following whatever I feel is right

Some nights

I spend hours

searching for the shape

of you among the stars
