Find A Penny

I drop pennies to give other people good luck

Other people complain even though they aren’t stuck

Stuck on you, and finding a whole mess of knots

Not that you’d share, but a penny for your thoughts?

I fade my memory so that everyone can sleep

Everyone has memories they’d rather not keep

I’m keeping with a regiment that’s clearly detrimental

Mentally erasing all my memories from the fall

I search the horizons with tears in my eyes

They eye my horizon and plot my demise

Demystifying a mind I call my own

Own up to the truth that we all search alone

I pick up the pennies I’ve dropped for others

While others find luck in finding perfect lovers

Love of a life that wants to rest its head

While my head just wants sense instead

I grow tired of counting sheep that flock

Flocking to a lifestyle that’s all just talk

Talking about the pennies that they’ve all found

Finding the dime a dozen that are all around

I fade my memory so that I can sleep

Sleep and dream about what I can’t keep

Keeping up with others will surely exhaust me

So I exhaust the memories that I still see

I look at the change that we’ve dropped

Drop the act and hope for good, it’s stopped

Stopping to end at another unresolved state

Resolving to make sure I don’t change too late…
