That's Me

Yes, that's me
who's smiling as a tear rolls 
from my eye
no, no, I cannot explain
I may never know why
 
One minute I am spinning 
smiling at the sky
the next I'm laying on the ground
shaking as I cry
 
Perhaps, its good to know
that feelings can be real 
even if I'm never sure
how I really want to feel
 
Love or adventure
always torn between
can I give up half myself
and still keep all of me
who am I supposed 
to feel like I'm 
supposed to be
 
Is he holding out his hand?
Should I default to the sea?
Jump on in and catch a wave
See where that takes me
 
Will there always be a distance
that is just a little out of reach 
will the ground ever feel 
solid, beneath my 
moving feet
 
laughing laughing 
out loud
and crying silently 
yes, dear, I am happy now
and sad
and mostly 
just me
