Escape

And I lay here
And I look upon the bay before me
I see all that my life has longed for before me
The reflection tells me how long it has waited for me
I stare deeper and see shiny orange
Knowing someday all I despise will be singed
Because people change
And rearrange
Their once one faced ways
Depart with immature frays
And I remain here
And blankly
I see the world
I look through my intelligence
What I have built
A new building constructed from my own cerebellum
That knows all
And feels all
Or at least what I need for myself
For me
To become what I am
And have built
And what I have wanted
And now achieved
By doing nothing
Except sitting here
So I tell you
Sit and think
Look
Feel
Escape
Within yourself
Because eventually
It works
And I am living proof.

Past, Present, Future

The past is past for a reason. We can run from it, and it will chase us; we can chase after it, and it will run away. It will never change, though it is the biggest thing we dwell over like it...

Ask Me

Ask me what I'm thinking, Ask me who I am. Ask me if I've lost my mind, Of sanity, I'm not a fan. I can assure you, you don't know me, So please don't assume a thing.

What I Would Give

What I would give to live a day in someone else's shoes. To see the world through a different person's eyes. To have different experiences. To feel new feelings and see new things.

Rusting Over

I've rusted over, Ran out of time. I'll embrace the fact, I'm way last my prime. I've gone off, moved a different way. But truth be told, You can't stop that day.

Now And Then...

Occasionally, my mouth, she runs off and ends up in the gutter, with egg on her face. At her age, she really should know better. But, I guess that's life. We live And we learn, We twist And we turn.
