I don’t find your giddiness in the mornings so fruitful for my day
It turns me around and around so I can’t seem to fake a perfect image of a professional disposition
I do not see the mysterious workings of the seemingly magical people as boundless
They have shortcomings and are not powerful in the ways I had believed
And I am also not as powerful as I had hoped
I do not sense the earth as strongly
I do not long for the greatest adventures
I am sympathetic towards those who do
I am envious of those who take the next step
Oh It’s a blurry wall I keep hitting in this blurry past time
This past time of thinking and pulling back to watch the thoughts form
Pull back far enough and new systems appear
New galaxies sometimes
New Ways of thinking
Oh the new and refreshing
Living outside of your dreams in duller dreams can be made colorful by pulling back
Sentimental old heart still longing for the mind to blow up and spit out a tunnel to the soul
A way to the lost things
Oh the earth is deep
I am cheap
Leaking out fancy renditions of a genuinely comedic act
After hitting a wall enough times self analyzing will then get you running in circles
Away from the wall - so scary... better to find my out this way
Stop laughing where is enlightenment you hiding fuckers
You better be out there
Here is uncourageous me
Not believing in you
