    The Lookout

    In this suburban California town
    You can smell the cows
    From the dairy down the road.

    And you’ll drive past the baseball field
    From the Minor leagues
    And the hookup spots in between
    The levy and the lake
    It used to be so much fuller then

    Up the winding mountain road,
    I swear, I can’t go back
    To 16, and the way I felt
    When I almost tipped my feet
    Off the rocks at the lookout

    The feelings of deep despair
    Even with the valley view,
    Of 5 cities at 15,000 ft.

    The lights sparkling
    Calling to me
    To dive headfirst.

      • Thank you for sharing resources. I don’t feel this way anymore. I wrote this years ago but while I was going through all my work to make a collection I thought of it and was proud that I had worked through that tough time. So in case someone else reads this… I got here and they can too. -Harley
