Reach…
-Jimmy Desire
In the silence of the night
He lies upon his bed
Unwary from the time that passes
He thinks of you
Staring at the ceiling
He remembers an old saying,
“The Sky Is the Limit”
Anything is obtainable,
If you just reach for it
As he submerged himself within his sheets
He forgets these words
And the meanings they preach
Because he doesn’t have you
Now lost and blinded by sadness
He yearns for you,
Morns for you because
He’s felt like he’s lost what he’s never had
And yet he can’t be mad
Because the world has taught him to love and cherish
Anything that he would ever have
Grateful,
For the lessons he’s learned
He does the one thing he knows best in return
To appreciate everything good in his life
And remember that although things may not always go his way
That there will always be another day, another opportunity
To do better, to be better, and to have better
Life is unpredictable,
Be ready…

In the silence of the night
He lies upon his bed
Unwary from the time that passes

If you just reach for it
As he submerged himself within his sheets
He forgets these words

Morns for you because
He’s felt like he’s lost what he’s never had
And yet he can’t be mad
Because the world has taught him to love and cherish
Anything that he would ever have
Grateful,
For the lessons he’s learned
He does the one thing he knows best in return
To appreciate everything good in his life
And remember that although things may not always go his way
That there will always be another day, another opportunity
To do better, to be better, and to have better
Life is unpredictable,
Be ready…
