Scrap The Old In With The New
Where Do We Stand ?
There comes a time
Where clearly things didn't work as we had planned
Running it over in our heads
Like the most annoying commercial
Thousands of times
Baffled as to why
Not one step closer than we were ten years ago
How is that not possible ?
We have failed
So miserably we can't even come to grips with our own reality
It is so far away from our true goal
Now only as close as the clouds in the sky
Once so large
We thought for sure we would be the first to touch one
They weren't a dream
We can see them clearly
Looking us in the eyes
Day after day
We could hear ourselves mumble
Today is the day
As the cob webs dangle in the corner of your kitchen
How did I not see ?
Something right in my face
I was distracted by life
The news
The people
That's not me
That's not who I am or want to be
I was side tracked
Now once again
I reclaim what is rightfully mine
A part of me
A dream that cries in my sleep
An awakening that I welcome with open arms
I will find a new way
The time has come
The transformation that could not be rushed
Gaining experience and wisdom
That can not be taught
Moving up and beyond
To a new revived spirit
One that will always lead you in the right direction
So pick yourself up
Rise to the warm breeze that itches your nose
The hot sun beating on your back
Blazing it's way
Not a choice of wanting to
Because it has to
