I imagined by now
My life would be...
Different...
Completely different
Completely different
Then what it currently looks like
I imagined
A house...
Some sort of animal...
You know... a family
A family
I set out to build
All by my lonesome
You know something to call my own
What...
An...
Imagination...
A child's failed dreams
What...
An...
Imagination...
I had at such an early age
I mean I get it
I'm still young
They all keep telling me
You're in your early twenties
You have time...
Time?!
Shit...
Where is this time you speak of
I imagined by now
I'd have that
WHITE PICKET FENCE
You know
The American Dream
With a moderately
Sized house
With at least one to two children
To fill it with warmth & love
I feel my...
I feel my biological time clock
Tick...
Tick...
Ticking away
My friends are all married
With kids
Or just moving away...
I feel
Unfulfilled and staggered in a way
Unravel me
N' set me free
I want to live...
Hop...
Skip...
N' jump
With all that imagination
With all that energy
I want to feel...
I want to feel free again
I want to soar the skies
Climb the mountains of vanilla ice cream
Jump from chocolate cookie
Boat to boat
Not to mention Sail the milky sea
What an imagination
I had...
I was so oblivious
Wondering off in Lala land
All those damn dreams
Came crashing down
Especially... When reality hits
As hard and fast as it did
I'm drowning in a way
These goals I've set for myself
All a tad bit
Unrealistic
You came in swiftly
Extending your arm quickly
Then...
You saved me
You saved me
N' I was drowning
Head just barely above the water
Mouth gulping water
Like a fish gasping
When pulled from the water
Who would've known
The power you had hidden
One glance from you
The skies cleared
The water drained
The breathe returned to my lungs
Like you had just performed CPR
I was standing
Just as tall
As I had
Before hand
I imagined
I'd be my own hero
Saving myself
From anything ungodly
Like the dark gloom
That looked over us
It was you...
You ignored all the RED flags
You heard me scream
Then started running
In the right direction
Just to save me
You're brave... Strong...
Not to mention
Courageous in every way
Known to man
I mean...
You saw a lost soul
A shattered heart
That needed mending
Then took it upon yourself
To hand pick
Each piece
Making sure to grab every little piece
Then taking time
To gorilla glue
Each piece together
With love
I imagined many things
By this specific time
In my life
Nothing came close
To you...
You are a dream
Come true
A blessing
