When You Add It All up You'll See That It's a Numbers Game
When you add it all up you'll see that it's a numbers
Game,
How about one last equation right before the numbers
Change?
We were meant to grow, just not too
Fast,
We were meant to be, just not meant to
Last.
Some needles aren't sharp enough to hide in the
Hay,
You were the one that got away because you got in
The way.
Do we really want more? Or are we just unhappy with
Less,
Save your best for the worst, it's the cursed we always
Bless.
You asked to go in reverse, so who's really
Backing out?
If I don't participate in the drama would you say I'm
Acting out?
Misguided, but I can withstand the temptation to
Get lost,
Un-wrinkling great ideas that get tossed.
The lewd switch is on, they're asking where do I
Get off?
Before you throw me under this bus aren't you going to ask where I
Get off?
You knew I would rub off, that's why you asked me to stand
By you,
Do I have the strength to reverse the current current in this
Bayou?
If you're not willing to sell then tell me what I can
Buy you,
Friends leaping from bridges doesn't insinuate that I may
Try too.
It's not the destination but more about the trip over,
More about the consistent stumbles? Or what we
Trip over.

Hello fellow creators. In short I'm nothing more than a very big fan of this art form we all love called Poetry. Playing with words and thoughts, bending and twisting ideas is all part of this therapeutic yet challenging past time.
