The Poet Sky

It's easy to look at suffering And say “It's not my problem” Because it's safer not to get involved

It's easier to pin someone down than to trust that they'll stay when you ask The easy way gives them no chance to resist but it only does harm, no good

I cannot understand the life you've lived how my world looks to you what you go through every day

I used to think there was something wrong with me I couldn't connect, couldn't understand What are they talking about?

You scrub and you scrub Hunting for any spots you missed After a time, you're satisfied That you got them all

Even though you're far away And I won't see you soon I want you to know now That I'm thinking about you

Chirp chirp chirp A soft breeze Caressing wet grass The smell of fresh rain in the air

Time's up, I've got to go I wish I didn't have to, but I know that if I don't leave now, I'll be late Though I'm tired, I can't afford to wait

We sit down together No work today Classes are long since over We can talk and laugh together

When you're falling down When all hope is gone And you can't carry on Look up and remember these words
