TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LIFE

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LIFE

Maybe I'm meant for
Different forms
Of love and success
And maybe the sun
Needs the gentle
Nighttime sky's caress

I'm trying to understand life
How I'll stand when everyone flies
As I dodge the unforseen
I wish for free dopamines
I'm trying to understand life
And stand my ground when there's no light
I speak to myself and say
Everything will be okay

How can a power
Be higher
If it's within me?
When I'm feeling low
And powerless?
It takes strength to be free

I'm trying to understand life
How I'll stand when everyone flies
As I dodge the unforseen
I wish for free dopamines
I'm trying to understand life
And stand my ground when there's no light
I speak to myself and say
Everything will be okay

I explore moods
Like excursions
I test my roots
In each season

How can I grow
In life's darkness?
When will the past
Be laid to rest?

I'm trying to understand life
How I'll stand when everyone flies
As I dodge the unforseen
I wish for free dopamines
I'm trying to understand life
And stand my ground when there's no light
I speak to myself and say
Everything will be okay
