Vagabond

You spend so much time flying under the radar
But I see everywhere you've been
Cowering under the shadows of streetlights
Afraid to let anyone in

I see you although you're invisible
Casting darkness beneath a silent glow
Whispering secrets under your breath
Pretending that nobody knows

If I could just catch a glimpse of your face
Because I know full well where you've been
You just might give up your anonymous charade
Be persuaded to creep me within

Deep within your shadowy soul
Is something I find so familiar
Yet all you can find among scraps, within dust
Are treasures you swear so peculiar

Quietly you move about
Careful to disregard action
Inward you spin, slowly you drift
In the midst of chaotic distraction

I see you as beyond beautiful
I want to break inside
You have purpose beyond what you know
Strength you cannot hide

Break within and let it out
Find out who you are
There is more to life than mere ashes
There is healing among your scars

Let go of your fears and phobias
You cling to what lies in the depths
Faith is a mystery you've yet to discover
Relearn how to take each breath

Dig your way out of dead man's bones
Release all of those burdens down
Look up! Lift your eyes to the art of the breakdown
Before the chaos of life leaves you drowned
