I need times like this--to myself
To cook up formulas with words that explode, sending minds into the unknown.
Hidden messages through similes and metaphors that'll make the greatest fold
Times like this allow me to stay under control.
I get close to the edge, but it's my safety net for if I ever let go.
See times like this I need rhymes like this,
When I don't know what else to do.
In my pain, turbulence and turmoil, I shall not lose.
When things go wrong, I put my prayers up and write my thoughts down.
Times like this, I wish you were around.
Times like this, I accept that you're at peace.
One day, at a time like this I'll think of you and I'll put on a smile.
And not a day will go by that I don't remember what you taught me.
