i have finished watching the past
i am on my way quickly
but has the past –
finished watching me?

so hard to believe
kids get older when they are younger
kids get out and down
morality is a dirty term
so hard not to look around

i have been dancing with my life
taking chances on touching your face
i have been daring myself to chance
in these days,
these strange, strange days

i was sugar in a bitter situation
and trying to be something good
in my teens i was there
but not really part of it all

your life is frightened
but your mind still shines bright
and seems forever enlightened

i took my plans
and them close
directions became intuition
and i knew which one you would choose
