All Right

I was so abused

In my mind

So hard on me

In my life

But it was a false thing

That kept me here

Protesting never seemed clear

I am a sparrow

I sing you a song

And in that it all disappears

Rivers keep moving

Shallow streams are clear

I wanted this for all of us

To just be mirror images

And now I see

Love was never focused

Never a meant to be

I see you

And all your faces

I see your clothes

And all your family

But that doesn't make you like me

Anything at all resembling me

We deal with things

So steadily

And rocky fields

Are following

Our following

I needed it to be so easy

So very present in everything

But it was wrong all wrong

New leaves are browning

New Buds ripen

And are eaten

I see your faces

And I cannot feel anything

But this confusion inside of me

So flowingly

I needed this to be so easy

But now I am fine

In its complexities

So fine with everything

Okay with life

And its subtleness

All right with what I was brought

Okay with the fine lines that weaved me here
