life is just too short ; boxes

at times I like to walk in circles, it puts my mind at ease.

I like to go through things aware and do just as I please.

I know it could be easier, I could follow like a dog..

but I prefer to find the fresher air then to remain dazed in the fog.

Life is just too short, you see? and we have no time to spare.

I want to live life as it comes, be present, and aware.

I can sympathize with your delusions of regulated time,

but I cannot follow blindly without reason and without rhyme.

I want to see laughter, to hear love and to feel no shame...

but I  refuse to stay in the box and play your stupid games.

Do not try to keep me grounded, and instead please let me fly,

for I have no more time then you and I want to know why...

why your angry, why your mean, and why you hold it against me

that I would rather be a bird and soar, to spread my wings and be free.

You may say "foolish girl, we are all trapped here" and you may be right..

but I will not stand down and give up on the fight.

Life is just too short, you see... and I will carry on this way

it's not to late, there's always time... you can begin right now, today.

let it go, let it lie, and know that love is all around

you just have to stop looking for it, and know that it surrounds.
