![]() From The Look DownA Poem by Jeff BreseeAnother spotlight, make the headlines. A final shout-out to the ranks of the-do-fine. Did I make you stop and think? Now looking down… from the look down, me and every other ghost in this town who couldn’t live life on the brink.
And I say - hey. There’s got to be a way for everyone who couldn’t be. Yeah, I say - hey. There’s got to be a way. Gotta be a way… for me.
Now I’ve opened my eyes. I finally see the lonely eyes that once looked back at me. We shared the emptiness inside, each wanting what the other had. Well, I guess we all lied… just trying to be.
And I say - hey. There’s got to be a way for everyone who cannot be. Yeah, I say - hey. There’s got to be a way. Gotta be a way… for me.
We all want to change the world, don’t we? Let a new flag unfurl, but tell me - how can anything change if our hearts stay the same? It’s not even worth a try unless we change the reason why… we live.
So I say - hey. There’s got to be a way for everyone who trying be. Yeah, I say - hey. There’s got to be a way. Gotta be a way… for me. © 2025 Jeff Bresee |
