Rock Song

She sits, swinging her legs
In time to the beat of her inner tempo
Wondering idly what her life will be like
Will it be meaningless drivel in the streets
Or something to be remembered throughout the ages?
She cannot see ahead, though she'd like to
And can't foresee the direction her life will take
Though she's not sure
She likes where it's going right now
She's one of those people it's hard to get real close to
She doesn't like to let many near her heart,
Knowing it is the wellspring of life
Romance was nearly nonexistant
Until a couple months ago
But now she's unsure of what to do
He asked her to be his but now she's not sure
If he would really stay beside her
She does't know if he's serious about her
Her mood changes as she thinks about these things
And instead of a bouncy pop song, a sad rock melody begins to play
She wishes for wisdom, for direction in this confusing life
Sighing, she raises her face to the breeze
Knowing she wishes for the impossible just right now
Wisdom is gained from experience, sometimes difficult to obtain
And this could be one of the first lessons in her life
She gets to her feet as she contemplates this
And again wonders which direction this world will take her
But she's content and dances to the sad rock song,
Not caring who sees.
