Look and Find

Don’t stay mad at the setting sun We did a lot but the day is done Run so fast but get no where Worlds and worlds hold my blank stare In my heart I try not to care But here I am stuck somewhere. Glued my pieces but they dare Break all over everywhere. Shattered glass holds me together My heart light as a feather But my feelings hold me down Heavyweights they touch the ground I scream but don’t make a sound Sometimes in life I’ll come home But then I just want to roam In fields of grass with sharpened edges My soul flies but is not expressive Then I fall into the sea I float but the waves pull on me What is life supposed to be Moving pieces that call my name Most of the time I lose this game I keep playing all the same In a world of hide and seek Sometimes when you find the peak It will be much farther down So you keep searching around We want more but when we look The places we find we aren’t hooked. All of our hope is inside When we search we also hide Our own fate we don’t abide. Life moves with us or against us With the movements we must trust Or our lives turn into dust. So far gone we can’t see them Float away a broken jem
