"i dont want you to do things for me...
i want you to do things with me!"
eva in 'guess who'

i closed my eyes for a moment and its another sunset
time seems to hurry on with its own agenda
pushing unceasing onward along its path
and i have left behind panting and chasing a shadow

some moments i feel almost like a bird with wings
free to soar high into the clouds
and to greet the sun as it kisses the earth
and bathes me in her warm embrace
and i beckon with a welcoming smile.

others, all i see is the darkness
too strong and overwhelming as the weight presses down on my shoulders
and i see the rusted metal chains holding me down
locking me in place on the ground
withing those four empty walls
starring blankly back at me.

thank you for making me smile.
