I feel my life is coming to a close
People I haven’t seen or heard from in years are reappearing
Reconnecting
Where did they come from?
Why did they come back into my life?
Does this mean my life is near over?
Full circle
Ghosts of my past
Good ghosts and bad ghosts
Parts of my life I would like to forget
Why, why now?
Is this it, is it time to say my goodbyes?

When did a mouse become a device?
When did we forget how to change a TV channel without a remote?
When did humanity start moving at such a fast pace
That it seems as if everyone is running a race

I long for the days of playing outside
Riding bikes and pretending to hide
We sat on the front porch
And waited for our friends
We thought those nights would never end

Now we don’t talk
We either text or email
Everyone is inside on their phones, looking very sad and pale

When did we lose our souls, when did we say goodbye
To life as we knew it, I just want to cry
It’ll never be the same
It’s such a **** shame
I’m getting tired of playing this game

Life is too short
To be sitting behind a desk
Time keeps moving faster
Life’s becoming a mess

What did you do for the last thirty years?
Sit at my desk, eyes full of tears

All the young people
Have no idea
They have their sights on job and career

Until that day they finally wake up
Looking down a flight of stairs
Stairs to nowhere
They just keep going down
Until there is nothing around

Why can’t we enjoy our time on this earth?
Without the lies of job and career we’ve been told from birth

I really don’t want to sit and pout
But this desk work is killing me
I’d rather have the gout

Work hard and you shall have…
Have what?

I need to fly
I need to be free
I can’t be tamed
I’m the wild one, you’ll see

I love taking off
On a wing and a prayer
Responsibilities?
I really don’t care

I’ve been there, done that
So many times before
I’m so ready to just head for the door

So here I go again
Getting on the plane
If I keep moving, I won’t feel the pain

I woke up today
Good start you say?
All I want to do is play
But I have a very busy day

Work till five, commitments after that
I just want to hide, inside my hat

Take me away
As far as we can go
I need to get away from this hell and this snow

I’ve heard of a place
Magical it seems
Where there is warmth and sun and beautiful moonbeams

*Take me there
I really don’t care
All the things I have to do
I’d rather go far away with you
Take me there

I can choose to be happy
I can choose to be sad
I can choose to be angry
I can choose to be glad

It’s all up to me
How I choose to feel
I’m in the driver’s seat holding the wheel
I have the choice to turn left or turn right
I can make this day black
Or make it shine bright

It’s all up to me
It has always been
It’s time to start living with gratitude again

I sit here at my desk
I feel like I’m under house arrest
I’m stuck here for hours
Being watched and scorned
This can’t be the reason I was born?
To sit like a mannequin
Typing robotically away
Looking at my life
Fading to grey…

*There has to be a better way
