Sometimes


Sometimes I feel like life is so long,

And whatever I do always is wrong.

I often give up and want to turn back,

But I know that I need to say on track.

 

Sometimes I wish that I could just shout.

And scream, and cluck, and flutter about.

But what would that do? What would that solve?

I know that this, I must resolve.

 

Sometimes I tihnk things are too far away.

But I need to find pleasure in the midst of today.

I need to stay positive and focus on me,

And what I need to do, and who I want to be.

 

Sometimes I wish I could magically disappear,

And hide so I don't have face this big fear.

I want to be secure and make myself snug.

And lie in the burden that I, myself dug.

 

Sometimes my life falls apart so it seems,

But I need to keep going so I can follow my dreams.

I can't live a life with a cracked, broken heart,

And constantly dwelling on if we're together or apart. ♥
