Stop Lights
I preach and I spew
to let things be,
telling everyone around me to
give life room for
its natural path with
no question of why things happen.
These "things,"
they happen for a reason,
and we are expected to learn that from
a young age.
I preach and I spew
because I like to believe that
coincidences are a myth,
just like everyone always tells me,
because the idea
of everything coming to a clean point
satisfies me and
my perfectionist mind.
But I can't help but
wonder why it is that
stop lights only turn green when I have no where to be.
