Standing Still
August 4, 2012
I live in this universe where I'm spinning into a pile of nothing
People pulling me in different directions , I'm like a piece of gum
I'm tossing and turning , getting pulled and pushed
When will it be my time to STAND STILL?
When can I come out of the darkness and see all the beautiful colors?
Without them I just see a depressing color like gray
I am a coal , a rock
When will it be my time to become a STAR? Shining for everyone to see!
When will the pulling and pushing , the tossing and turning stop?
When will I STAND STILL?
