What is it about her
That made him choose?
Is it the way she walks
Or talks or shades her hair
Is it the way she smiles
Or laughs or has no care
Is it her confidence
Her energy
Her life or spirit
Is it her eyes so brown
Exuberant, alive
What is it about her
I wish I knew!
What is it about me
That made me lose?
Should I persevere?
Do I continue to hit my head against a hard brick wall?
Or is it better to just give up?
If the path before me is leading to a blank dead end, where to find another?
What do we do
When we find out who we really are?
What do we say
When we realize we don’t like the person we’ve become
When can we say
About our dreams and desires and hopes
What can we dream
When we wish ourselves and lives away
What do we do
What can we say
What can we wish
What can we dream
?
