#overhead
You treat me like minefield
Challenging to navigate
Wrong step will cause me to explode
You take caution with your gait
Got pocketfuls of problems
Neither can seem to fix
Each door we try to open
Leads to wall of bricks
You keep telling me think positively
Optimism is the key to success
When the half-full glass topples over
Still makes the same size mess
Got a fence built between bodies
Separating flaws we don't wish to see
Compatability questionable
Cannot be who you want me to be
Your expectations of me skyscrapers
So high I will never reach the top
To scale distance I'd need to sprout wings
I won't fly because I'm scared of the drop
Good enough worry is not what I am
Painting your colors dark grey
Overhead clouds pour rain and we're drowning
Wouldn't blame you if you decided not to stay

passing overhead
clouds with their bottoms clenched, rain
on parades elsewhere

woke up
with the sound
of jet engines
thundering, overhead
streaming the sky
brush strokes on high
of red and black
jumped at
straight back
from the bomb
they dropped
square in my living room
walking away
another day
i'll be back
when dust settles
amidst no attacks
on the sandy soil
of my
homeland

Zooooooooooom
that plane got awful close
no way to hide, or disguise
Zooooooooooom it went
I wasn't that engrossed
deaf ears, and blurry eyes
Zooooooooooom yet again
am I the only one?
shes talking, way too high
Zooooooooomed
can't tell if she's done
I'm just a clueless guy
Zooooooooooming
heard by each and everyone
over my head, her words
they fly
