Red Light
Today I was pulling
up to a stop light,
and before it even turn
yellow I just stopped.
At the same moment my car
came to a complete stop
the light turned red.
It never turned yellow.
I realized while I was
waiting for the light to
turn green that, that
insident decribed my
life perfectly. It's
always stop or go, never
ever slow down. I also
came to the conclusion
that all he is, is a
yellow light, never green
or red. So too much of
something is never a good
thing, but then again
not enough of something
isn't good either. Maybe that's
why the light never ran
yellow. I'm trying to
forget you and you right
down the middle approach
to life. But I need it, I
need a change. I wasn't
ready before and now I believe
all I need is a good change.
I think you do too.
This town is just a black
hole that sucks you in as
fast as it spits you out,
and then swallows you all
ove again. I fear that you'll
never get out of here and
do something with that
amazing talent of yours.
So you see, I can't stop
caring and I can't stop
worrying it's in my nature
to try and help the ones
I love. That is why it
is so hard for me to look
at you latly. I want to remember
you just how you were to me,
before this little shit town
holds you in forever.
Think about it the next time
you're at a stop light, you
may see something you've never
thought before.
