Tentmaking
Insides quaking
I know this is all for the better
- for the breaking
He's steady
A thing no one can understand
When heart weighs
And I'm lost again
in a daze
Wondering what's become of my days
This internal haze
Set me ablaze
Just to feel something different
To feel the heat in my veins again
Not lost and cold-blooded
Like a two-faced friend
We've all got enough of those
- had enough of those
A problem that never dies, only grows
Until one tries and it shows
Like a little stream of light
Into the darkness
And yet I never seem to make
any sense out of this mess
And I confess that no matter what I profess
I'm still hopeless
from time to time
Losing myself but finding a rhyme
And so I sit
At my desk
Finding myself a little perplexed
as to how I'll get to what's next
And how long is this waiting
When I don't even know what it is I'm anticipating
Everybody's lost and twitterpated
but feeling underappreciated
hated
maybe even a little jaded
Cause the dream they had has faded
Crumbled into dust
Like lint found in your pocket
Question how to rock it,
Don't knock it
Work with what you got
Which is more than selling and smoking pot
It's a lot,
And it's more than what you're not
Chasing after wealth, and good looks or good health
Hold on through the swells
When the inside of you yells
But not a word comes out
Slash doubt
Pick up hope like an arrow
and put down the tarot
Take this life like a fight
Where you know that you're right
Press on til you're gone
And leave a story behind
One worth telling
That silences the yelling
Chokes back the tears
Mends the broken fences
That were gaping all these years
Don't dare waste another minute
Sitting in it
Counting your regret
When you could forget
Move on to something more
Let go of before
Become better; explore
Start to question what's in store.
