How's your life at this point in time?
Are you living in a picture that's sublime?
Or are the colors just dull and dreary?
There's beauty in the first-person story.
You can write a new scene in theory.
But life's often harder than poetry.
I know of depression and psychiatry.

How's the weather this season treating you?
Is the heat tiring, does it make you blue?
Maybe a fresh breeze will pass right on by.
Directing you towards a new mind's eye.
Perhaps the mailman will travel through.
An article might be relevant to you.
How amazing it would be to have new shoes.
Maybe you’ll see with different hues.

While that scenario doesn't seem bland,
Have you ever imagined a future that's grand?
What was the peak of your childhood dreams?
Do you feel stuck within reality's rigid seams?

How's your life at this point in time?
Are you living in a picture that's sublime?
Or are the colors just dull and dreary?
I certainly hope you're cheery.
