Run

When I was young

my eyes glowed about the future

thought it meant

something bigger

dreams in my head

played like a movie

now they fade

into a flicker

I play along

like I understand it

say “it’s fine”

never planned it

over the curtain of the tin roof

where the blossom trees bloom

nothing stays

I stay anyway

fell apart

but I’m still okay

not the life

but I couldn’t change

missed every turn

still I kept going

lost what I was

but not the motion

I learned to smile

when it’s breaking

hold something close

while it’s fading

over the curtain of the tin roof

where the blossom trees bloom

nothing stays

I stay anyway

fell apart

but I’m still okay

not the life

but I couldn’t change
