So, I wrote this last night. Inspiration is unclear still, but it seemed apropos considering it’s my birthday, even if it’s a little depressing. So much has happened in this year alone, I feel ninety instead of sixteen. New school, new city, new friends, LOVE (which wasn’t something I had to deal with at my last school). I promise at some point here I will get around to everyone’s pages. Recent personal happenings are keeping my schedule a little erratic.
Cheers from the new old lady 😉
There was a time so long ago
When my feet touched nothin’ but rainbow
I skipped
And I hopped
I ran
And I danced
Me myself and I
Needed no romance
The sky was blue
And the grass was green
Everything I had
Was all I could need
No worries
No pain
No cold hard truth
My worst hurt was when
I lost a baby tooth
Reality was too big
For my naive eyes to see
My world was so small
I bounced of its walls with glee
And my feet touched nothin’ but rainbow
Colors shimmered and scattered
With my every footfall
Dropping down like painted tears
Of course I thought they were only rain
Tears are for those who have experienced pain
That rainbow was once so wide
I had to run a mile to the other side
It slowly shrank
As I grew up
Until I was on tip toes
And then one day
POOF!
I fell down
Off my rainbow
Like a bird from its nest
It had just disappeared
And so childhood’s fog cleared
I knew not where to go
Having lost my compass of a rainbow
For a while I was lost
And I probably still am
It’s much harder to find one’s way
On crude, solid land
My pot of gold exists somewhere
And I’ll keep on looking
Even though life’s not always fair
