Sometimes

Sometimes all you can give is love 
Sometimes all you have is not enough 

Sometimes life is like a dream 
Sometimes dreams aren't what they seem 

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart 
Sometimes its laughter that breaks it apart 

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go 
Sometimes even fast is still too slow 

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind 
Sometimes home is the only place you cant find 

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep 
Sometimes you are too sad to weep 

Sometimes freedom holds you back 
Sometimes a wedding dress is black 

Sometimes loneliness is what you need 
Sometimes theres a harvest without a seed 

Sometimes darkness can be too bright 
Sometimes rain gives you delight 

Sometimes you think you understand 
Sometimes you know you really cant

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions 
Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions




TEENAGER

I'M RESIGNING, I'M HEREBY OFFICIALLY
 TENDERING MY RESIGNATION AS A TEENAGER! I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an eight-year-old again! I want to go down to McDonald's and think its a five-star restaurant. I want to think that M and M's are better than money because you can eat them. I want to eat a whole packet of Tim tams without feeling guilty afterwards. I want to return to when all you knew were colors, multiplication, tables and nursery rhymes. I want to return to when you didn't know and you didn't care. I want to remember the whole morning was filled of what your Mom had packed for lunch and the whole afternoon what you were having for dinner. When a simple matchbox car or a Barbie doll represented a whole week's worth of entertainment. When you actually had an imagination. When magic really existed. When 'Jaws' didn't look fake. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good would always triumph over evil. When a member of the of the opposite sex was just some annoying disturbance. When friends were real and you didn't care if they were black, white, Catholic, Asian, African, Muslim, fat, skinny, pink, green or from a whole other planet, it just didn't matter... until others told you differently! I want to believe that anything is possible all you have to do is Dream. I want it to be unknown to me the complexities of life and to be completely ecstatic by the little things again like the sound of the Mr. Whippany Van! I DON'T want to know of school, homework, clothes, friendship, relationships,popularity or even gossip! I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams and human kind. I want to believe that all adults must know everything (How wrong we were). So here's my money, key cards  my makeup, and my adolescence.
