I fell off my bike today
I never had before
Shaved the skin right off my palms
When I braced against the floor

But I'm alright, I did survive
Could've been much worse
I'm thankful that tomorrow
I won't be riding in a hearse

The funny thing about it all
Is that when I got up and rode away
My iPod shuffle played this song
The moment I pushed play:

Free Fallin by Tom Petty...

Life is funny sometimes

I idefintify with my suffering
What else can I feel
When pain is who I am

Yeah, I could have your love girl


But I'd rather sing the blues

I watched you sow
Seeds of resentment
Before my very eyes

I couldn't move
To dig them up
I was needed in the skies

Years gone by
Forgetful I
Did not remember about seeds

Our forest suffered
All this time
I catered other needs

And now your tree of hate stands tall
Thorned vines I could not tame

And it bears a poison fruit
Venom, nectar
All the same

Why does it keep on growing?
I told sun not to shine

And cloud who watered it so proudly
Did not pass by this time

I took an ax to trunk
But bark was made of tempered steel

I took a torch to branches dry
But flame it would not feel

Roots gripped earth
Vines entwined
As it saw I found
The rivet line

I pulled the thread
Straight through the seams
And released the nightmare
From our dreams

Our forest is now happy
And it's creatures feel the same

But are you gone?
Should I be worried
The next time skies call out my name?
