Adult Nursery Rhyme #2:
Jellyfish

When I feel inadequate,
A faker at life,
I remind myself,
No one else
Has it figured out
either.
I seem cool and calm
But inside I’m a jellyfish
I’d like to get high
But it’s no place to hide
You always come down
To a bigger mess.
I look at people and think
They know what’s going on
Life comes easy
And fun flows freely
They know how to spread it around
Am I doing alright?
Somebody tell me I’m doing alright…
Spin round in the darkness
Get lost in the light
I’m not the only one
Who’s incomplete.
I just can’t see their jellyfish
I can’t see their nerves and their silliness
It’s how I feel, it’s a winding wheel
I’m not alone in my jitteriness
Some day soon we’ll fly to the moon
On wings that are made from jellyfish.
