Once I had no cares in the world

Running around the park

I could not think about anything

After the world became dark

As the sun moved from east to west

I not only gained limbs

I gained greater ability and experience

and mobility and knowledge and feelings

I could no longer

Go out on a whim

But this was fine

The sun was in the middle of the sky

And its warmth was golden

No matter the angle it hit my eye

And so I allowed myself to absorb the rays

I had little worries, little days

Sunscreen was never on my mind

Why would I know what to do in a bind

If I had never been burned before

Slowly gaining life experience

Through red skin, pain, and itchiness

The sun fell deeper in the sky

And I started to realize others could fly

After learning to fly I stayed in the nest

In that environment, I stayed the best

No one else in the nest could be the best

Because if they could fly they would have reached for the sky

I decided to deceive myself

And watched the sunset as if it was the sunrise

Still beautiful, but I could only surmise

What would happen in my mind

When the sunrise said goodbye

And so I moved on in life

Then I was only concerned with her

For some reason, unable to forget

for so long, for such great times

Not being direct, my only regret

I eventually forgot

No new ideas, I begot

I simply focused on the task at hand

Without realizing the song I had made in a band

was something I should be singing.

For so long, For so many nights

I did not think, nor remember,

nor wish, nor know nothing about what I had forgot

Many moons moreover

I found a new idea

But the sun had already set

I was in the dark

I decided I would try to move a couch all by myself

When everyone else, would ask someone for help

Being best became my bark

But I was in the dark

Once I had no cares in the world

Once I had only one

Once I could not move on

Once I realized what I had done

I decided to change my mind

I realized I was in a bind

But the sun was still in the sky

And I maintained the ability to fly
