do something everyday that scares you
by ideaofcrying on May 31, 2012I'm a hippy dippy trippy girl
and im going on a drive
the ride is long and all alone
but I know that I'll be fine
I've got some music for company
so i guess ill sing along
and we find thrill in moving forward
but the fear of the unknown is strong
a place called home gets left behind
And everyone i've ever known
gets off the road at times
and you can't always hope for straight and flat
sometimes there's turns and gravel
and i know that i can do it
i know that ill be fine
but theres a part of me thats terrified
for the girl i left behind
the one who sat in bed for hours
and dreamed off in a page
of words that made her stronger
but she stayed inside her cage
four walls that gave her safety
a closed door to hide the tears
and mirrors to stare in and wonder aloud
what are you doing here?
but finally she had to leave
start over somewhere warm
and again those tears were cried
but this time she was reborn
she stumbled in a magic land
a piece of paper on the tongue
and it hit her like a million bricks
there are more ways than one
there's a special hidden exit
if the freeway gets too fast
and all you hear are angry horns
and people speeding past
it it wasnt luck that led her there
it was something more like choice
and hopes that glowed like shining snow
and whispered in her voice
this internal golden aura
that wandered out of sight
her friends and family miles away
and she followed without a fight
her eyes had never been so wide
bright light spun laughter loud
the point is that there is no point
those were the words she found
you're just a bunch of fucking atoms
only chemicals in skin
and this thing called life can be seen as infinite
if you're willing to look again
