Hiding in my brain

And running through my veins

Electric current

Chemical reaction

In some ways it’s just a game

*

My universe may change

Modern times rearrange

But when

it only makes sense to me not you

We all can feel restrained

Like there’s more pain than gain

And we’re stuck in 

an inflexible cosmic chain

**

In some ways we are free as the breeze

That whistles through the trees

We find our way on any day

Caress and move the leaves

*

Sometimes we get to make many choices

And in that sense

We choose our own way

Sometimes

there are so many voices

We just hope to have a say

**

Driving me insane

Time going down the drain

Erratic current

Natural reaction

In some ways we all chase fame

*

The universe will change

Every day rearrange

Things might not flow so easily for me or you

Sometimes we are contained

So we complain about strain

Of first a social drought

And then torrential rain

**

In some ways we are free to achieve

The best life we can lead

We find our way on any day

Finesse and smooth

Our needs

*

Sometimes we can level up our choices

And in that sense

We choose our own way

Sometimes

We can ease the friction

If we find just one thing less to crave

**

Swirling thoughts

And dire needs

A world is bought

Our life exceeds the limits of reason

They don’t change with the season

We know a lot

And wisely read

The world is caught

Inspired greed

Crave less to smooth

All of our needs

Simple joys

Keep us free

There are no boundaries to equity

Help us succeed together

**

Co-exist on this plane

Impervious to the flame

Prophetic current

Logical reaction

In some ways

no boundaries remain

*

Our universe may change

And this reality rearrange

They may not believe in me or you

And treat our words with disdain

Not wanting our name to stay

Lumping us into

nonsensical fear and shame

**

In some ways we are free to believe

The best life we can conceive 

We find our way on any day

Reflect and soothe

Release

*

Sometimes we want to share our choices

And in that sense

We choose our own way

Sometimes

We can release the tension

And find our groove

At work rest and play
