Changes

Every life must have a reason

So i thought the story goes

Just holding onto dreams now,

As reality steals the show

Wisdom such an asset,

But it’s gained too late in life

The prize of youth without control

Just the blade but not the knife

The challenge is here,

Don’t say what you fear

What’s over the hill do you know

No longer the child, once where so wild

Wait for the hold man to show

I wake up every morning,

Though i’ve slept through

All of these years

A cog that turns another,

Am i clockwork puppeteer?

The treadmill of surviving

I’m still spinning round and round

The motions i’m use to,

That i need no sight nor sound

The dawn of life, i’ve waited long to see

Now the figure of resentment,

This is not how i thought it would be…….

Can’t you see?

The challenge is here,

Don’t say what you fear

What’s over the hill do you know

No longer the child, once where so wild

Wait for the hold man to show

The truth in the eyes, still wear the disguise

For the wonders you may never see

It’s high time to fear, the final frontier

The face in the crowd is now me

I painted life by numbers,

Every color mixed so true

But how could i paint a rainbow,

When all i saw, it’s was blue

The picture now is drying,

As i wipe dust from the frame

A lifetime’s picture is complete

But the canvas is still so plain
