Fainting Goat

Sometimes it seems

Hard to understand

Why things are

The way they are.

But even if

We don't understand

All we can do

Is move forward.

Life has its challenges

My mind is fuzzy.

I can't think straight.

I hear a clock ticking.

Is it just in my head?

Do you hear it too?

I round a corner.

The cat waits there.

It watches me.

It watches me.

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.
