I learned from watching you
One of those things I picked up and amplified to an unhealthy extreme
Whether waiting in line,
Delineating instruction,
Or driving around town
He's told me to breathe, to slow down
I've tried, HARD
I keep trying
It's a constant struggle to re-evaluate myself;
To take a step back and comprehend
That some things just don't work out the way you'd like
And that sometimes you won't have control
That's OK
Giving up that control is a feat;
A feat I cannot accomplish without help
YOUR help
I've learned to distract myself
I can still move at the speed of sound
Even if everyone else can't break the barrier
So I distract myself
Sometimes with the mundane
Other times with a challenge
But I distract myself
I distract myself to the point that I've slowed down on the inside
But not on the out
So, again, I pretend
I put on a show
Very few know the show of which I speak
Only they can tell and won't applaud when I bow
Without them, I'm lost
I'd get lost in my show,
Never again able to connect and forever alone
But, as they say, the show must go on
