Description
I want this downpour to end its wrathAnd the cold winter stalks to leave the grass.
If the house were to settle onto its stone,
And the foundation was to hold its own.
A childlike eye can solve problems
But it can also create more for yourself.
I’m neither the optimist nor the pessimist;
I’m the one who takes things as they come.
I want the flow that others live in
And the stability they have unknown.
If life is love and love let live,
How is laughter left as legacy?
You were the one concerned for once
I was the one held by your support.
I need that seldom given helping hand
To help with the life that gets too tedious.
The knowledge of the surrounding world
Can become too much for one soul to handle.
I want to be able to show my defenses
And not be seen as defensive.
If holding something is a way to show it’s precious,
How is holding back seen as negative?
I need to be able to take that first leap
And free the mind of its bondage.
I want to be able to shed my downy useless wings
And replace them with gossamer limbs of life.
