Things I thought were unimportant
End me slowly, like you told me.
Inward, outward, what’s the difference,
What we think or how we do things?
Someone says it’s all true.
Love, we try it every other way.
Things you told me not to turns out
Weren’t all worthless—see, I’m still here.
Sure you tax, you heap, you keep me,
But who do you hold on to?
And, oh, my head, my soul got in the way.
You say I’m restless.
I wrote that book after all.
But at least I’m blessed with
My world’s that book after all.
Things I thought were unimportant
End me slowly, but everything’s just fine,
Just like it’s true.
