what now

What now?
What now my dear?
You are not listening I fear

to the sounds of growing up
lost in the rumble of trying to jump
back to the past
because it went too fast

what now?
what now my dear?
You are not listening I fear

to the words escaping my mouth
paying attention to the back and forth
of your parents hurtful words
wishing you were a bird

what now?
what now my dear?
You are not listening I fear

for you are too busy
making things messy
attempting to distract yourself
from the fact that you're all by yourself

What now?
What now my dear?
You are not listening I fear

to the path
let's do the math
one road that holds your dreams
one road that doesn't gleam

listen to your heart
it knows the rhythm of this part
trust it
as you see fit.
