It’s Better Here

 

 

Walking through a very narrow

dry river bed

 

I wonder about myself and

what brings me here

 

And why I feel a need

to find importance

 

in all things away

from the human connection

 

But I'm sure this search

is somehow more vital

 

than any other I could ever

undertake

 

And I'm sure it's more

than pure escape

 

he says high on caffeine

 

and the heat too has its

effect

 

both trying to take me to where

we all want to be

 

and then I understand:

 

Back there I'm not the

seeker of life

 

waiting for gunshots

to wake me up

 

But here I have the guts

and strength

 

to be a young boy

all alone

 

dancing, dancing, dancing.
