I'm standing in the road
watching the stoplights change color
green
orange
red
repeat
finding comfort knowing whats to come
knowing that there are no curve ***** on their way
change thats constant, predictable
green
orange
red
repeat
comfort.
I close my eyes
and think of my past
of how certain I was,
and how brief that certainty was
set plans, set goals,
but above all, a dream turning to reality
green
orange
red
repeat
close my eyes
find my mantra
everything happens for a reason
remember to breathe
relax clenched teeth
relax clenched fists
let tears fall, knowing it brings relief
green
orange
red
repeat
take a deep breath
clear my mind
force  silverlinings
to keep the pain away
I will stand up
I have to stand up
things fall apart
nothing is certain
green
orange
red
repeat
standing in the street
finding my ground
regaining footing
with no one around
just the stoplight
clearing my head
red
orange
green
repeat
lift my head
lift my spirit
but above all
clear my mind
green
orange
red
repeat
