Whatever Happens

I don’t want to be a bird

With wings for decoration

I don’t want to be afraid

Of public humiliation

I’m like a lizard

Running through your garden

Tightrope walking on hoses

Rubbing my neck and my wrists on the roses

I’m like a teardrop

Falling in your fountain

Came down like a pebble

But I hit you like a mountain

Whatever happened to him?

Whatever happened to the pain I spin?

Whatever happened?

If it hasn’t happened

I hope it happens

Whatever happened to that big eyed boy?

The kid who brought his mom such joy

Whatever happened?

If it hasn’t happened

I hope it happens

Did he find his ivory tower?

Is his life a golden shower?

Does he twirl away each hour in the mirror?

Is he here?

I don’t want to be a bird

With wings for decoration

I don’t want to be destroyed

By one less congratulation
