Today.

Today I got a glimpse of reality
A cold shower
A wake up call from the nation
The Few, The Proud.

I thought about calling you
I felt happy
I felt whole
I almost forgot what normal felt like

I walked in the street
I thought about life
I thought about moving
And a lamp went out as I walked under it

I decided to stop and smell the flowers
I picked one and hung it-
upsidedown from a string
I'll find a safe place for it once it's dry

Tonight i'm going to bed late
I had some thinking to do
a few things to consider before I sleep
a few things to consider before I leave

I decided not worry about the little things
I decided
I decided
I decided
