Welcome to a New World
Life is always on the move, from day one until the end, like a never ending song,
To keep your conscience clean you must stay as sweet as a penguin,
Sometimes you have a whale of a time, other days start us sunny, but then it begins to rain on your parade, leaving you trapped under the threat of running out of time,
But sometimes you feel blue, but you don’t want anyone to know so you stay quiet as a mouse,
But you’ve got to pull yourself together, and keep it going for as long as you can
The room I’m in has four walls and a door. That isn’t all it has. The tower I use all the time is kept in there, on a desk tucked into the corner of the room. I decided to have my bed next to the wall, across from the desk. But it all feels like it will close in on me. This is where I’ve been sat since March. With all that occurred in the last few months, I wasn’t able to be outside, at least not as much as I wanted to be. I had to be confined to these 4 colored walls, this screen, a mattress twice the size of me. I can’t leave this room, as mother Moraes thinks it will spell out my doom.
Life really isn’t a thing that gets better because it stays static. My view regarding life makes me see change as a bit better than a different human being. I feel like life may get a bit dull and uninteresting if there wasn’t change here and there. The change needn’t be massive, even small changes here and there can keep things fresh and new. Finding a new path that’ll get me where I want, be that place a friend, my trade, maybe even the place I sleep at night. This doesn’t exclude massive changes, as I am aware that a large number that I keep by my side prefer the less prudish path where they act like Hugh Heffner, whereas I have taken the different path where I take more after Will Smith in the fact that I have spent a bit under 3 years with my girl, whereas the maximum time they spend may be fifteen percent the time I have. I write this as evidence that I understand that keeping a bit static is assuaging and calming. The extreme ends isn’t where life thrives, life is best when met in the middle, for the calming between extremes is where the calm is best.
