Keeping it Simple

Keeping it Simple

The dresses you wear on a party night,

The tears you shed for a stormy flight.

The way you think the world sees you,

Along with all the flaws and insecurities that drive you.

Isn't it all hype?

Why do we count our flaws,

Midway between self-made laws.

Who told us to be sad?

Who told us to be scared?

Who told us to mend every gap?

So, why do we have to care?

For 'tis forgiving that the world has forgotten,

Often being vulnerable like floating cotton.

Don't think so much,

Just let it go,

And watch your destiny open all the doors.

You'll soon see a difference in the ocean shallow cradles,

Light will drive away the clouds of darkness,

And you'll finally see the shores.
