Tired eyes droop into faces on trains in places I visit often
Sad voices soften in the rain at night
The trees get blown so hard you expect them to snap and crash down the streets
But they never do; they just hold on
People have rows loudly in kitchens with windows open whilst babies are sleeping
A lady runs for a bus that had no intention of slowing down; but she keeps running
Muddled up numbers in maths class leave that one kid embarassed as they never get the question
Another heart breaks from rejection for a date via text
Someone loved them but the victim had been looking in the wrong place
Listen to a guitarist play songs without a care in the world
As the rain pours on a busy street full of passers by with places to be and shops to spend money in
He hopes to eat that night whilst these people are spending money in their minds like there's no tomorrow
Watch as they drive too fast and slam on breaks at the last minute
Almost causing chaos in there impatience
Bad attitudes get you nowhere
People you haven't seen in years get you better in two hours than some of your closest in the inner circle of your life; the shock is that you're surprised by this
Don't count your money too much
Try not to waste your experiences saving it all for that rainy day that never comes
You can't take it with you, and that day you inhale your final breath you will wish you'd lived with more risks and thought less about the tomorrow that won't always come.
