Must have a goal
Go get that thing
What if I want
To stop and sing
Retreat inside
Wait out the storm
Else feel the wrath
Of nature scorned
Instead a kid
I wish to be
To feel alive
And so carefree
Each drip, each drop
Upon my head
Wish I could splash
In rain instead
I'd watch the sky
Explode with light
A warming joy
Not filled with fright
When did I lose
Sight of it all
Predictable
Pattern I fall
Start living in
Every moment
Past and future
Wasted and spent
Granted a new
Chance I'm given
Can not redo
But start living
Each day awake
Fresh start; Can be
World's my oyster
Alive and free
