let the rain wash away
all the pain of yesterday
i know my kingdom awaits
and they've forgiven my mistakes
all the pain of yesterday
i know my kingdom awaits
and they've forgiven my mistakes
I planted my foot on my skateboard, excitement building inside me. I pushed myself along the sidewalk, gaining momentum. I was practicing for this. I couldn't wait to try. This new trick was going to be awesome. And it was going to work. I felt it. My blood pumped faster as I started to descend downhill. My eyes locked fast on the sign on the curb up ahead. This was it. My new trick was about to come to life.
I stuck my left arm out, just distant enough to catch the pole. So either this was going to work or I'll get a broken elbow. And so I really hope it will work. It was only a couple feet away. I leaned forward, urging to go faster. I clasped my fingers tightly around the pole, pulling hard. I turned left.
It took me a couple seconds before it registered in my mind. I did it! I thrust my arms toward the sky, looking up in triumph.
"Yes!" I say out loud, the words rolling smoothly off my tongue. I couldn't wait to try it again. I looked forward and saw a figure that even with my skateboard I wasn't taller than. I smashed into him, careening backwards. I landed hard on my back, knocking all of the air out of me. I let out a small moan of pain before looking up sheepishly at the boy. He was even more intimidating now that I was on the ground.
still far away
from where I belong
but it's always darkest
before the dawn
from where I belong
but it's always darkest
before the dawn
