"It’s okay,"
you continue to say
even as i wish for you to stay
the way that you are now
but of course everything changes
and hearts break
at fevered pitches
and as i sit back and watch you
commune with the bitches,
ill have them sleep with the fishes,
because every word they seem to say to you
is one more thing that you have to live up to prove
but you dont have to prove yourself to no one
because real soon i want nothing more than to see you keep rolling.
“its a normal part of every day,”
is always what you seem to say
and yet in every single way,
you find yourself in a daze
with all of your lights and sounds
abounding down rivers and
swimming through ponds
you find yourself fond of people
who are not meant for you
and yet you keep rolling.
“im used to the pain”
so what is there to gain,
and its a damn crying shame
when i see your mind lying lame
fame and fortune seem to lay around your feet
and yet you look up to the sky
and wonder why cant you be happy
and your parents say to make it snappy
you cant be happy with yourself
and yet you keep rolling
and you keep on trolling through the pain
and you keep rolling with nothing to gain
and you climb the rope of life trying to find a way
to live another day
and yet you keep rolling
and rolling
and rolling.
