my mommy likes this one so im putting it on
waiting on the pier
watching the street light change from red to green
he saw his life changing in that instant
that just seemed to be stop and go
an instant was all it took for him to want a new life
to leave this world behind and reinvent himself
the best part of living was destroying what youve lived for
she had always said to him
would it take much?
not really
as long as you knew the right people
and he did, or at least his parents could get him where he needed
money didnt seem real, it never does when its not yours
the changing of the light again; a different set of cars
an instant that lasted in him
waiting to be unleashed
to break free from whatever he held inside
who cared about him?
he used the people who trusted him the most
like testing the water
seeing just how deep he could go before he drowned
his life he thought could change in that instant
the stopping and changing of the cars
but it wasnt the cars that changed
it was the direction
but he never knew that so he just sat and watched them go by
waiting on the pier
waiting to change the light he created inside
