Analysis of Someday
she walks by you everyday
wondering...will i fit in today?
are you afraid?! of me?! of my thoughts?!
laughing. she realizes she has done it again.
The hidden joke that only a few can see.
The awkward moments, the silent gaps,
the false security you rely on.
she see's this so clearly.
a smile touches her face when she realizes
it is not her that causes the pain.
you forgot to grow up or maybe it was
the serious pill you took today.
either way, the fault lie's with you.
someday will never come until you let it go
whatever it is...
that you desparately hold on to.
someday can be today if you let it.
will you risk it? she hopes you will.
or perhaps someday will never come.
