Plateaus

Born to break
Crumbling inside out 
At 28
Already lost my myself

Sticking out
In a crowd
Like a sore thumb
Tripping over everyone 
Just to see some light in the sun
Just to move ahead

But I've been stranded
Back in time
In my head
With storylines 
That don't add up
To anything 
Tangible 
Dreaming
Like desert lights
Over city skies 
No destination
But I want to drive

Plateaus keep on
Tricking with me
Dropping off where I wouldn't see
And teasing an incline 

Mile after mile
Mile after mile
