Speck of Dust

Sometimes it feels like the sky is falling down on me

Like this moment is forever

I wake up heavy with a thousand thoughts

Every second feels like time forgot

Bills regrets words I never said

Echo loud inside my head

I swear the world is closing in

Like this pain is permanent

But somewhere past these city lights

There's silence stretching through the night

If I could zoom out just a little more

See past this room past this floor

I'd see my fears begin to fade

Like footprints washed away

We're just a speck of dust in an endless sky

A blink of light as the stars pass by

A hundred years from now none of this remains

All these worries all this pain

I thought my problems were the end of time

But the universe keeps moving wide and alive

If I look up I can finally see

It's all smaller than it feels to me

I've been running at a breakneck pace

Chasing meaning losing grace

Every moment filled with noise

Every breath I don't enjoy

I forget I'm not alone

In this spinning cosmic home

There's a rhythm older than fear

Still beating even when I'm here

Maybe I don't need all the answers now

Maybe it's okay to just slow down

Let the night remind my soul

I'm part of something whole

We're just a speck of dust in an endless sky

A quiet thought as the galaxies collide

A hundred years from now this fades away

Every scar every bad day

I thought my problems ruled the world

But they're just stories my mind has told

If I look up the weight feels light

Under the stars tonight

Breathe in... hold on

Breathe out... let go

The universe whispers

You're not alone

This pain isn't permanent

This fear isn't fate

Even the stars take their time

Learning how to wait
