the way it unfolds

I don't care just where you go

as long

as long as it's with me

I don't mind just what you do

  as long

  as long as it's with me 

   too

   little garcon

     born ruffians

just keep dancing, keep smiling

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly

Man got to sit and wonder why, why, why

Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land

Man got to tell himself that he understand

Cat's Cradle

Kurt Vonnegut

life ambitions

the more I learn, the more I want to run and hide

the more I learn, the more I want to scream

the more I learn, the more I want to cry

the more I learn, the more I want to shrug my shoulders and 

                                                                                        walk away

I can't shake off this feeling that I need to know what I want from life but all I know is that 

I just want to live somewhere I love 

with a goat and some chickens 

and some plants

and some people I love 

in a place where I am free 

a place where I can sing

a place where I can dance

a place where I can help

a place where I can nurture the ones I love and my surroundings

a place where I am wanted and appreciated and loved in return

buck up

so I will find my fears and face them

or I will cower like a dog

another travelin' song

bright eyes

Set forth, Voyager!

it's time to start exploring 

again

...

but

I've was really starting to feel 

comfortable with

where I was

and who I was

becoming

the minority

and I'm frustrated with myself

but I can't change

I don't want to be me anymore

and all of the 

tics

             tocs

                 clicks of clocks

that tell the time

tell me this is just a phase

Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear

to help me get some rest

Oh my darling dear?

The songs of the birds 

don't bring calmness no more

oh no, no they don't sing
