It Was All Yellow

& than
Life just sort of hits you
It's completely unexpected too
Like a...WHAM
A hard blow to the chest
Or a loud scream in your sleep
When all you needed it to do
Was creep up on you slowly
Give you little hints
So you were prepared
But...if life were like that
We'd probably never
Make the choices we do
Because we'd know how they'd turn out
& nobody wants to see
An already planned map of their life
We all want to feel rebellious
Just once
Want to feel that total responsibility
Of wrong doing
Because we don't care what people think
Even though we're actual chicken shits
On the inside
We all want to feel that love & longing
For someone
Even if their love ends up being
For someone else
& we all want friendship & trust
Even if our friend leaves us the next day
But like I said...
Life just comes right at you
From a foggy distance, of course
Without sound of warning
Like a lightning bolt before thunder
In what seems
The worst moment possible
In a time when you really
Wish it wouldn't
At a time when reality is finally
Seperated from chaos
& distortion in the mind
