The truth of the matter is not to be bold
for refraining is all that needs to be told
in the story of a man waiting for truth
belonging to trust, faith and eternal youth
I sat down and waited and along came the wish
that flourished a blush and was bound to restrain
replacing my peace and clearness of mind
no need to adapt because she was of my own kind
and nothing that mattered but boredom
and all that came true were the dreams of that blush
so the boredom in spite and the glimpse of my own
I wished myself no longer and let it be
not that I could flee the joke that is time
automatic adaptation was what lied before me
so I sat down again in a wait-state-of-mind
to embrace another set of eyes like the sky
well this was more than I bargained for
the horror of timeline the gaps in my life
made the urge of necessity unbearable
until finally time showed it the door
now I’m here in a wait-state-of-mind
no longer belonging and no longer blind
I made a pact with time and all that that’s worth
so in fact it’s hilarious when I witnessed this new birth
this is what it is
although truly unclear
it’s clear to me that without fear
this is not a bridge to far and not a pearl blue sky
this is what intelligence can’t grasp
therefore my conclusion
without even thinking of using my mind
do not adapt, this is perfect for now
