i dare to be.
They told me hard work beats talent
So I worked so hard and never nurtured my talents
I occupied myself with a thousand things to keep me busy
Not once did I take a moment to see where it had got me.
There were day trips and lunches,
Mid-day errands and jam sessions
There were late night cruises through never-ending highways
Driving through towns searching for something that was never there
Late night
Midnight
Empty streets
Busy creeks
Driving down
Vacant town
Who knew

Maybe I’m out of state right now.
Maybe it’s because I want to be.
But maybe it’s because I wanted to prove to myself that I can enjoy myself without you. That I can laugh and cry and have a good time with out you here to share it with me. But maybe I’m still weak, and maybe the only thing i crave…
