I found a lively swallow and decided to follow,
Down the steep hills and away from my sorrow,
And on my way a stranger said, excuse me, do you have a life I can borrow?
‘No’ I respond, with a shake of my head,
My thoughts are mainly colour coded red, I’ve made my bed,
For this road is as desolate as my tomorrow.
And like a thousand times before I tie my shoelace with-a-bow.
But some say not to worry,
Life isn’t a sprint, so you don’t need to hurry.
There’s a lot of room to grow,
There’s more for you, to show.
If only the next 60 years of my life wasn’t just a grind,
Or maybe I’m just trapped in my mind.
