I came With no intention of Breaking through brick walls And fighting for our sanity I saw A much more civil path One where my shirt stayed stainless And my heart remained inside of me *I conquered The wall and all its might Only then to find out All you wanted was the rubble
Excuse me while I hold my breath Count to ten, puff my chest The words I need have been suppressed Far away, for the best No cause for concern or distress Silence stays, a welcomed guest My troubles find a peaceful death Away again, pain at rest
We drive with caution Construction pollutes the causeway As we journey forward 'Expect delays' As if we thought It would be smooth sailing We think of turning back But we sit and wait Eventually carry onward Every so often faking smiles Making light of the Stop and go method we've mastered If only this mess would end When we arrive at home
Who knew Late night constructs Could turn into such Disastrous dilemmas My mind races But not around a track Or some make-shift run way Where runners go To get away from such issues I stay the course Practicing patience As if I really knew What made people want to stay It's sad Because I really do Is that silly? Am I foolish? For wanting to be here To stay so still Thus eliminating progress To provide some sort Of comforting process To rest on the simple fact That things just aren't that simple Are they?
I'm a people person A look both ways before I cross the street person A hold the door if I beat you there person A pick you up if you get knocked down person A don't care where you come from person A don't care what your skin tone is or how long your hair flows or if you have any hair at all or if you look in the mirror and see a person who you can't stand person A let's team up and change the world person Because we all are people
