The Rodent

for all that you've done getting undone
seeing all of it in a different light
feeling sad and crazy at the same time
cause seeing the light is what is good
when soon you've learned so much
from a silly incident that doesn't matter
even whatever is said you see the future
and what probably would become
a feeling like the one really heavy stone
you make the decision to leave behind
and appreciate what's right in sight

flying far away in life and mind
grasping hold of what's on the ground
filling lungs with in the end is poison
leaving a feeling good for the moment
will sure makes the birds sing louder
and the scaly snakes slither faster
stop and jump and hide for awhile
picking up all the pieces cautiously
thinking but remembering something
that will bring you back to the same

nothing ever changes it's for sure
a mirror and a reflection of the past
never will leave no matter what
building it up just to be torn down
what once was will always stay put
for all the stupid comments made
but giving thanks for opening me
it's a lesson ready to be at peace
in the soft small palm of my hand
I should have known better than that
No one would expect anything less
and leaving it all up to the painter
and the brilliant ideas that he has
