Thinking Pt.1

I think too much

about life

my surroundings

people

I think to the point of distraction

When I see trees

I wonder what they're reaching for

When I see people

I wonder what they're living for

When I see the sky full of stars

I wonder who sees me

I think about things like these all the time

I think about motivations

Professionalism

Reactionary forces

Violence

Death

I think about love

Sex

with and without passion

I wonder what I'm missing

or if I'm just thinking too much

When I see an airplane

I think of those inside

comfortable or cramped

who aren't thinking about the forces

those that keep them where they are

and take them where they're going

When I see a family

I wonder how much love it will take

to keep them together

When I look in the mirror

I wonder why the world still seems so mysterious

when the truth is staring back at me
