This little boy stands next to a pond Naked Hands raised to grasp the summer rain I observe from the outside The sun peaking through windows I dread the rain He’s alone and I’m alone But why can’t I enjoy myself as much as he? These 3 girls lay next to a tree Free Laughing and grasping the spring air I observe from the outside The sun still shines bright But a cold draft blows in They’re together and I’m still alone Why can’t I laugh and enjoy life as much as they? To step inside a painting To paint over my life Give it a different hue, different texture No matter the weather Though I would rather talk about the weather Rain or shine I want to step inside Escape; like reading a book Instead people can see and look That my grass is much greener than the outsides |
