Brake Lines and Bottle Rockets
By Aaron J Coyner

The world is quiet now
I whisper to stay sane
Everything seems crazy now
We need strength to sustain
Our quest to understand
A need to rearrange
An attempt to find ourselves
Through never ending change

The world’s all a drama
And we are just the cast
Even in the present acts
We change from what was past
But change for its own sake
Will never even last
Because life in this mixed up world
Comes at us all too fast

Life is about choices
And changes that we make
Some lead to car wrecks
Like someone cut the brakes
And some guide us to virtue
For our own sanity’s sake
But when we achieve happiness
Through whatever twists of fate
Fireworks illuminate the sky
As the joyous celebrate

Because life is about the future
Not what was but what could be
If we change for honest reasons
To achieve the dreams we see
Misguided changes falter
In this crazy world they cannot last
Try as we might to slow it down
Life still comes all too fast
