diamond path

I want to write something true

without taking it too far

but this head of mine wont let me

it's been stolen like a car

I'm feeling kind of seasick

on land without a boat

stuck inside a prison

and drowning in the moat

Too tired to think of life

and to learn of what may be

but if you need ears to listen

just sit and stay with me

I'd hate to think of losing

my mind to someone else

to give away all I know

and destroy it's only health

It's not very good at choices

of which is right or wrong

instead it likes to drive

too fast and way too long

I'll try to make some sense

of words that I don't own

just speak of what you knew

and see if it has grown

walking down the diamond path

I stop to look around

where it is I'm going

my feet stuck in the ground

To listen one more time

to what you have to say

I hate to think your leaving

that you are on your way

The sky is big and wide

a place I'd like to be

but here I am standing

and longing to be free.
