Just wrote this in three minutes, feedback appreciated.

A million miles from nowhere, I can hear my subtle heart
Whispering its secrets� wanting me to take part
In creating some memories that won�t make it shutter.
Need to find some good in life beyond Hell�s constant mutter.

A million miles from nowhere, I felt I was not alone
Traveling my own road in life, admiring weeds and throwing stones.
Someone was there beside me giving comfort along the way
Though I�d turn to see a shadow or a distant light gone gray.

Reaching for that great unknown, I struggle within my breath
Just to see the greater spectrum, to understand with new depth.
But I was alone, there, a million miles from nowhere.
So long as there was a Heaven above, company was always there.

For, I learned to journey my path without the fear in my heart
That plagued me like a shadow, that stung like bad taste in art.
As long as there�s a God in this million miles of Nowhere
I will lift my head and live and live as without a care.
