I think im the family's black sheep
My generations sacrificial lamb
Because its just been
Uni
Career
Relationship
Engagement
Wedding
And Damn
What happened to me
Did I miss the memo or something
My life dances in a 2 step beat
2 steps forward
2 steps back
But all around me
They're dancing together
Moving forwards and upwards
Just one foot in front of the other
Did I get two left feet
Am I wearing the wrong shoes
Because it's just been
Up
And
Up
And
Up
And damn
What happened to me
I'm stuck on the same few stairs
Just one two three
Then turn round and repeat
But they've gone on and climbed mountains beyond me
Sent back photos of their view
But mine hasn't changed
Since my mind broke in two ways
I feel trapped in a machine
That's not fit for purpose
Whilst they're all driving by
In the latest new versions
And i wish I could end this
On some motivational note
Like how we all do things differently
And I'll get there, I know
But right now I just see the distance
Between me
And all of them

And it's a chasm
About the Creator
Sarah O'Grady
I like to play with words to escape reality. Or at least to try and make sense of it.
