A child learns to walk his way to becoming a man. A man learns to sit down, shut up and listen to the master plan. Seems kinda backwards to a guy like me, so I'll keep walkin' on, keep bein' free. They say the grass is greener on life's other side so I took a trip, I went for the ride. I arrived and I saw a new point of view, I showed up refreshed, feelin' somethin' new. So I decided that I'd stay for a while. Got better reacquainted with my inner child. I spent my youth workin' hard tryin' to grow up, at twenty years of life I realized that I hadn't lived enough. So I opened up my heart and mind, started trustin' everyone except those who won't accept me, those relationships are done. Peace and love and all that other good stuff too many other people just don't look for it enough. But I started to accept it once I opened my mind, once I broke on through to the other side. Trap me in a room with some normal populace I'll be antisocial in my head makin' lists, 'cause I wanna be sure I don't end up like them. My life, mind and time ain't as simple as the suit and tie men. But put me in a place with people dyin' to be free I'll have a smile on my face and a reason to be me. I'll enjoy myself, I'll dance, laugh and love and know Gods smilin' down on me up from above. He didn't give us life to fill with work, stress and tears, he never expected us to face all our fears. He loves us and he wants us to be happy and free like bluebirds in the sky doin' whatever they please.
3 & 1/2 years later: I wrote this, but never really lived it at the time. I feel I'm much closer to this now than I ever could've hoped to have been when it was written.
