Fainting Goat

Nature's little miracles

The sky

The sea

The sun

The grass

Nature's little miracles

The birds that sing high in the air

To the fish that lurk below

The whales that sing their special song

I tried to be better

But you made me feel worse.

I tried to improve

But you held me back.

I tried to climb up

But you tore me down.

I tried to be enough for you

But this could never be.

There's a wall in front of me.

Too tall to climb.

No room to crawl under.

Too long to go around.

All I have is a plastic spoon.

So I chip away at the wall.

I've been chipping away for years.

Well I open that door and here comes the rain

The rain of ashes and new possibilities.

See, there’s a boy I like and he likes me back and he said he’d meet me at the park today.

Strong and sweet.

Beautiful and neat.

Supportive and kind.

Who helps me keep my mind.

My very best friend;

Turns dark days bright.

Yet I worry;

They may be losing the fight.

First I see a raven,

Strong and dark.

Now I see an eagle,

Majestic and mighty.

Now I see a crow,

So similar to the raven.

Now I see a feather,

Alone and indistinct.

Finally I see the birds.
