The things around my life are changing.
Faster and faster the shadows seem to cast in new directions,
Shedding light on all of the things that I've over looked in the past,
And covering the things I've come to know well.
As i sat and tried to explain the way that i felt this day,
I failed.
Only to find myself speaking from the outside to a world who couldn't possibly know what it's like within.
The birth of a new love and the loss of an old
Combined with the change of doors from the place that I once called home.
At times I envy those who have predetermined lives with the comfort in knowing what tomorrow will bring,
But as i close my eyes I can hear my heart pounding,
Pulling my chest in and out as i breathe.
I've sacrificed my predetermined life to live in the present of Lady Luck herself,
But also in the present of judgment and sorrow;
Who are no strangers to even my oldest memories.
I live in this ever changing world
Because the world in which I change is predetermined,
Though the life I live isn't mine anymore.
It serves as a hope for those who ave lost their own judgment,
It serves as an aid to lift the spirits of those who need a little lift.
Most importantly, it serves as proof that you don't have to live your life predetermined.
I'm moving to a land of hope where many have not found luck,
But I believe that those searching for luck
Have no clue what luck even is.
Luck isn't a 7 digit number written on a check,
Luck is the journey we experience in the world that we choose to call life.
You may not understand what this all means,
But in time you will... through your own experiences.
In these words, I fail.
I'd rather have a banana than pretend to know how it tastes.
