How do you know where you're supposed to go?
and what to do when you're there?
or if you can do it?
Be a bird,
fly away and don't look back.
Find a tree to live in wherever you want.
Make your own sky,
one that is the color you choose,
and strong enough to withstand the weather.
Weather that others bring,
or whether you create.
Grab a cloud and make it something new,
that only you can do,
that makes your own sunshine.
