Crying Skies, Rain And Discarded Memories

i'll stick to cake

There are some times that I just sit by an open window and think,

About how much there is to life beyond paper and ink.

There's a life beyond the pages of textbooks and salary checks,

Beyond the look of satisfaction on your mother's face when you get straight A's.

There's so much to read about, so much to discover,

There's a life beyond that report card, a world undercover.

And you often will realise that the little things will bring you more happiness than you could ever have expected,

And that random post will get you thinking about what could have happened if you hadn’t given up on that childhood hobby.

Because now you've ended up in a lobby,

And you're working or you soon will be,

But do any of those things truly make you happy?

Money can buy happiness, I won't say that it cannot.

But there's journeys to undertake, plans to make, put things at stake,

Because if the perfect life is a cookie,
I guess I'll stick to cake.
