Sunshine Dealer

I am supposed to be writing something

 

Because I am a writer

 

I’m supposed to be feeling something

 

Because I’m a feeler

 

A bad mood healer

 

A sunshine dealer

 

So wash your face and stare at the sun

 

And run, run run

 

A do run, run

 

It’s so much fun

 

Do what you want

 

Do what you want

 

Feel it erupt around you

 

Like a clown with a frown won’t do

 

Same with you

 

Not smiling baby

 

Light it up

 

Little darling

 

Live it up

 

Come on now

 

Stir the ***

 

Footsteps carry feet outside

 

And a body catching a ride

 

Don’t look now but there’s

 

A person inside

 

Walking that line

 

So many

 

Strangers in the night

 

Exchanging disregard

 

Invisibility works best

 

For some I guess

 

But I’d rather fly

 

Or would I?

 

- insert sigh -

 

Lay my head down

 

Close one eye

 

Keep one open

 

In case you try

 

To marry me in my sleep

 

Courting me in my dreams

 

Or so it seems

 

Do the work

 

While I’m awake

 

Look me in my whole face

 

You can’t replace

 

Or fake

 

Love
