Innocent




I saw a bird,
Thought I could fly,
Soaring high and pure,
So high above it all,
So far away from all the shit,
I scuffed my knee up something awful.

I saw a fish,
Thought I could swim,
Forever and ever through crystal blue,
So far beneath it all,
So far away from all the shit,
I almost drowned.

I saw a person,
Thought I could be,
Always smiling,
So far in it all,
So close to all the shit,
I couldn't.

I saw myself,
Knew who I was,
Pure and true,
It's not as glamarous,
Or perfect,
Or fun,
But it's who I am,
No matter how much shit it is.
