Before the Boomerang



With so much change going on
It's hard to sit to reflect 
Every moment of recollection 
Is a never ending recollect 

Like rolling downhill at an upward speed
And at the same time 
Trying to pull aside  
To see how far you've come 
Impossible to do both at the same time 
Or maybe you can
And this is me trying to try 

Ask yourself this 
Can you ride the ride
And remember it at the same time?

Let yourself fall
And go backwards in the midst of it all?

I see the way things tend to add up 
Like I finally get math 
After years of doing enough to brush 
By 
Seems like the thing I avoid  
And carelessly go through the first time
Take a liking to me 
Finding their way back another time 

Like how the equations in math 
Have a formula to memorize 
I try to do it my way 
Until I realize
The formula has its way 
No matter how I hypothesize 

It goes like this in my life 
Cut the ties 
Discover what's right 
For you
What makes you come alive 

Yet the formula always brings me back
Points out the way 
You need to fall to get back 
Up

Ride the ride
To view it from the other side 
I have to learn to prioritize 
Dad's not pulling off my sheets anymore 
Telling me to rise and shine

Only accountable to myself
Only I'm responsible for my financial health
I'm working with a limited amount 
Although I feel rich with myself

My clothes stay on me longer
As I have less fun money for fashion
More responsibilities 
Like food 
And those types of rations 

Sometimes I feel angry and bitter 
Full of entitlement tears and lack
Other times I'm on top of the aspens 
Smelling a scent I never noticed before 
Released of worries and cares 

I go back and forth 
Teetering between 
Angry adult and blissful child 
Oh how I wish I could be like a child
More than once in a while
