Last Spring

My head went in circles again
I promised not to compose for gain
I waited for hours till my body hurt again and again
My heart was in a torture field with no gain

I decided to stop hiding so I gave in
Slowly and slowly the excitement grew
In time the world seemed to be in my fingertips 
I had figured it out so well, I was good at the game 

Even my dreaming took a different route
My dreams were bigger and fresher 
My eyes shone brighter than a baby's 
Stress, noise, talk & sound didn't bother me anymore

Until I realized I needed to live in the present
