It was gone as swiftly as I saw it appear…
Was that a sign that I will wonder after an experience
that good or bad was near?
I guess I will find out later
Procrastination delays me from knowing if the good parts of me
will ever become greater
(Chorus)
I saw a falling star today
Gliding over me by the 105 freeway
For that moment, I loved the beauty of wondrous things
Instead of hating the strife that daily life brings.
The words of some are merely scribblings on paper
But when they move the soul and spirit
they become tools of the motivator.
Words are what I do, what I love…
Unbeknownst to you, I am the writer whom you should stand in awe of.
So many thoughts ran through my mind
while I admired that star racing across the sky
Mainly things like why I waste precious time asking why?
Why waste your time on people and places that don’t appreciate you?
Why succumb to the fear of the unknown just because it may defeat you?
(Chorus)
I saw a falling star today
Gliding over me by the 105 freeway
For that moment, I loved the beauty of wondrous things
Instead of hating the strife that daily life brings.
That pretty little falling star really made me think
about why by the time I get home from work
I need a MF drink
That’s something that should be reserved for execs
You ignore my middle management sects
but give random lazy a-holes fat bonus checks
Why for art thee perplexed?
(Ponders during intermission…)
Admittedly, fear of the unknown keeps me from immediately telling you to fuck the fuck off
Even though you will just use my severance check as a write-off.
Makes no sense
HENCE
A Burn Notice might just be my newly appointed doctor’s prescription.
See, you might look upon me as your slave
But I see myself as an original Black Egyptian!
You don’t even know the real me.
SHE
Whom I have kept hidden behind various pen names and a façade.
To you, I may be expendable,
but to my pen,
I am God.
