Figure Hugging Lows
it could have been a different life,
stable,
not such a fight
turn on your light
find yourself a place to grow
and your formative years
do not go slow,
as some will, no doubt, find out
and in fact, i already know
it could have been a different life
it could have been a different life,
less trauma,
one with constant light
do not fight
find yourself a place to grow
do not make a song and dance –
around such a show
you need the high,
not the figure hugging lows
it could have been a different life
