• Girl you are such a fool, he said to me
    Standing there with your legs stretched and arms raised
    You reach towards the sky as if it's not a thousand miles high
    I can guarentee you surely won't be praised

    I know I may be a fool, I retorted
    I try and reach what I cannot even see
    I stumble and fall, I hit the wall
    Trying to obtain what cannot be

    But you're such a smart girl if only you'd try
    Keep your feet on the ground
    Keep your eyes off the clouds
    A realistic goal can be found

    Realistic goals are for realistic people
    A realistic life is not a realistic dream for me
    I'll be honest, if I'm not living in the clouds
    I might as well be living under the sea

    But what is the point in living an extraordinary life
    If you will only part with it at death?
    Save yourself the trouble, go easy on life
    It will all be over when you take your last breath

    You are so horribly wrong you hypocrite, I screeched bewildered
    How do you not feel that log in your eye?
    You have smiled and laughed and therefore you have tried
    To be happy in life although you will die

    He just glanced at me and walked away
    Like a rain cloud migrating away from the sun
    A life is not a life worth living for
    If you can't look back and smile once it is done
