What I Say
The writing on the wall said its time for you to go
I try to act surprised as if I didn’t know
When you recede inside like the oceans tides
You better hang on for it may be a rough ride.
I don’t understand even though I do know
When you stop trying you simply cease to grow
Then you become apprehensive about what the future may show
It’s much like the grass gets deep when you forget to mow.
I try to start anew but I’m haunted by the past
I see a light at the end but how long will it last
It’s like the future been set in the mold that you cast
The sorrow comes as the flag flies at half mast.
I see today how what you do affects everyone around
But it’s hard to get your bearings when you feet aren’t on the ground
The silence creeps up without making a sound
What you say determines the path you are bound.
