When sunflowers are young,
they face towards the sun
and follow it throughout the day.
Even on cloudy days,
they move their blooms,
searching for sunshine.
When I was young,
I faced the sun.
and looked to it for happiness.
I had many cloudy days,
where I couldn’t find sunshine,
but I found you instead.
Sometimes when you are at
a fork in the road of life,
you choose the wrong path.
Of course at the time,
you don’t know this
(Or maybe you do,
I’m not one to judge).
It’s usually much later
when its way too late to go back
and you’ve done irreversible damage
that you stop and think
“Well shit. I’ve really done it now.”
Sometimes you get fortunate
and can tread you own, new path
to avoid the problems
that you almost walked into.
However, you can’t expect a
“T” intersection to appear
and magically take you back
to what could have once been.
Sometimes you have to accept
that your life has changed
and you can’t have your dreams.
You have to make new ones.
And yeah….it fucking sucks.
Life is trying to listen to music
to drown out feelings
in the middle of the thunderstorm.
AS the storm gets closer and louder
you turn up the music
to try and drown it out.
It isn’t necessarily safe
and may make you feel better,
for the time being.
But in the end, you know,
the storm will end and so will the song.
so where does that leave you?
