Forty Mark
I wouldn’t wanna be anyone else right now
I have come to be who I am to be me
At a forty mark with no more that hidden mile
I found that side to be forever free
And where do I go from here?
Can I not say I’m finally done?
Are we not always too far when things seem near?
What is it do we fear to accept to have to run?
To be the best when no one knows
To be the worst when everyone remembers
When did life become for momentary roles?
For loves and hates with the many followers
Learning to care less yet care more
It does bother and it doesn’t matter
There really isn’t a right and wrong to live for
Simply surviving for no worse no better
This realization makes me smile
Hell no will I wanna be someone else to be
A forty mark to know life never come round
Have I found that side to be free...
