Spectators

Everyone is watching you and laughing. Man plans, God laughs. Except everyone is acting as God. You’re running, wild, wondering when he'll leave your mind. Everyone watches silent, waiting for you to fall. Inevitable, yet you're the last to accept the truth. Man plans, God laughs. You're busying yourself with the wrong subject. Nothing else takes up so much of your thoughts. Yet somehow, he finds a way. You can't hope that you might be hurting him the same. Man plans, God laughs. The headaches don't stop, the migraines settle in. But an Advil or hot shower will relieve the pain. Though relief is only temporary, and you're back. Back to longing, to thinking, to pushing it back out. Man plans, God laughs. No one cares enough anymore and you're stuck caring too much. It's irrelevant, doesn't matter, shouldn't matter.

Growing Old -- Growing Up

If I just wait then I will never grow. I’ll learn to pass my knowledge and to teach For one who waits in place shall never know That beauty lies ahead beyond your reach. Matured adults do not look back and see That life has tried to keep them all cooped up. The greatest gift in life is to be free But somehow, we grow blind and are corrupt. Ahead the gorgeous clouds that fog my sight Which stop before I get to truly feel, Surrender me to birds that must take flight Remind me never look beyond what’s real. When I grow old and fly above the clouds I hope that I will make my young-self proud.
