Why is it that some days you just want to kick a tree?
A car? A concrete pillar? Or a metal bar?
Venting the frustration that isn't even yours

Angry at nothing
Angry at something

Did nothing
Did something

Failed at nothing
Failed at something
Failed at everything

A tear drop in the ocean
A column of smoke into oblivion
Is soon forgotten

A drop of blood gives permanence to a life
Otherwise evanescent

Fear and doubt intertwine
Round one so young
Till they become one

Running through the open plains
Stumbling
Tumbling
Falling

The eye sees
The ear hears
The hand stays

Why should I care?
Why must I care?
Why do I care?

Kicking a tree is so much easier
Than sitting down beside her
