Sometimes

Sat down this morning to write, I let my fingers lead and this is what came out.


Sometimes, the day is what you make
Sometimes, the day is what it is
Sometimes, the sun gets in your eyes
or the rain puts you at peace
Sometimes, it feels good to be sad
that is when ice cream tastes the best
Sometimes, it hurts to be happy
Feeling how we shouldn't feel

Water ruins shoes and cleans the soul
Dirt is the enemy or the joy of summer
Callouses may be rough but oh so necessary

Alone is lonely
Alone is needed
Tears fall from joy and from pain
Fear is natural
Doubt is certain
and joy can come through rain

Forever never comes, until you least expect it
Wishes only exist until they come true
Sometimes, our dreams can guide our future
but our nightmares can too
Sometimes, a smile is only a mask
but a frown can be one too

Sometimes, we think we are alone
until we step back from the mirror
Sometimes, the world is unforgiving
Sometimes, it is bitter sweet
Sometimes, our feet never leave the ground
and sometimes, the ground will leave our feet.
