Somebody asked
What a few songs from the soundtrack to my life
Would be
"The Happy Smiley Song"
I answered.
"Walkin' on Sunshine"
I said.
"Dandelions"
I declared.
Because this is me now
Sitting here
In the shiny yellow sun
Always always optimistic
Looking on the bright side
Because I can't see the dark side.
Who is that girl,
On the other side?
I don't know her.
She looks like me
But it can't be.
Curled up on her bed
Crying
Looking for sleeping pills
Failing
Failing
How sad it must be
To be her.
Hiding inside
When there is all this pretty sunshine
To bask in
She doesn't look like the basking type.
I guess I will find someone else to bask with.
And let her alone.
It must be sad.
Ah well.
