throw down your shield

i can donate you tears, fears
i’m standing here, waiting endlessly
my life here and next, past and present
honey, don’t move so fast — let life grasp

feel beneath, let your wings flap
things sting and kings reign
i know it’s nothing like the acid rain
just stop, feel today and let your emotions play

i’ve seen you unplug, feel you chug
all those drugs—
you let your shoulders shrug, but no one else can see

the day you’re looking up, through that old oak tree
wondering whether you gave it all you got
think about what you had and what you lost
what you gave up and what you cost

but don’t let it bother because then isn’t now
just vow from here on out that you’ll keep plugged
that you’ll no longer shrug and when you hug
promise it’ll mean something other than i’m sorry
and all your worries will no longer battle an army
but lastly, that your next motion will teach you emotions and you’ll be a squid with the ocean
like i said back on june 25th
