(I'm gonna give this a shot here, here we go)
(I am simply at the opening a cave
Shouting that the cave is open)
There is not enough time to do everything
A green sign is always flashing in the corner of the room, saying, you will all die someday.
not a threat it’s just a reminder
It’s okay
not a threat it’s just a reminder
it’s just a reminder
It’s okay
Looking back on, childhood spent dipping toes into joy, only to pull back out immediately.
Too shy to ask anyone at the dance to dance except for the shyer ones that I knew always wanted to dance too, Donovan
I'm looking at you
Although I'll probably never look at you again
That's just how the world seems to work..
I make sure to leave room for imaginary people between me and my luxury.
Double checking that they cover all perspectives
Rubbernecking how deep their rabbit holes may go
Saw a rabbit run down it said no.
I got what I need
Thankful I’ve ever felt alive indeed
I make the most of what I have,
don’t go / chasing / dreams?!
Not good not bad just unbeknownst to folks,
Round here I gotta stick to what they know,
so If you could stop talking.
I'm sick of politely nodding and agreeing,
though secretly I
I i really wish I saw what you’re seeing.
Decades later reconvening starting down that same hole.
Dive deep, a sign that reads I’m supposed to be reading it,
a million others say I should’ve been there years ago.
Oh
that woulda been nice to
know.
