“Free”
completed on 7/9/10

i can feel the seconds slipping by
watch the world pass me by
watch my dreams crumble away
sometimes i can’t shoot for the moon
because i’m not sure you’ll catch me

all i want is to follow my dreams
the only reward comes from walking the tightrope
but i’m on the sidewalk
taking baby steps toward mediocrity

my frustration’s boiling over
i vowed to follow my dreams
but i’m tripping on everything
it makes me want to scream

i’m tumbling like a bird with clipped wings
crash and burn to a future of could have been’s
if only tears could wash away
all the things that make me scared
then i could find the things that set me free

“Prologue”
written on 2/13/10

i can’t stand the repetition
of the gears turning endlessly
smash the clock against the wall to stop the hands’ rotation
’cause i’m scared to death of being ordinary

i don’t want the universal parts
or fit in all the slots
i can’t tick to everyone else’s beat without feeling incomplete
i need to feel unique

i’ve set my hands to turn counter-clockwise
so that life won’t feel routine
you may not understand my timing
but that’s what makes me me

you can stare at my imperfections
or feel the pulse of my heartbeat
you can judge me on my frame
or study what’s underneath
