Losing Alaska

An Ode To Life

Roses

Roses 

Roses lined with golden powder 

So beautiful 

So pure 

So deceiving 

The spell is upon me 

Can I make it to my ever-retreating door of freedom or will these colors once again keep me?  

On my pony I fly by my life and laugh 

The colors are so sharp I am really seeing it all 

I love my invisible pony 

I can do anything and everything atop its back 

With my pounding heart and sweaty hands I release the reins, 

Letting the pony carry me away 

Away 

Away 

And farther away 

The feeling just grows and along with the feeling the pony just knows everything about me 

Helping me open up and face the day in every way 

What does it feel like to not feel this way? 

Poor pony don’t neigh 

I will be on your back till the end of my days 

Oh please pony please 

Lift me up higher and higher 

Take me on a ride I will never forget 

It is all flying by so fast 

The happiness is untamable 

This rose and its golden powder have me all tied up in its power 

The pony I have fallen in love with 

The rose that contains my pony 

The beauty and grace that keep me trapped in this place 

The reversion of my blooming 

An addiction forever looming
