Look above where you’re going
And believe you can fly
I keep searching for answers
Trying on different socks for size
Instead of kicking rocks ahead
I’m wishing for someone else’s life
Simplicity translates, and its staring back at me:
Stupid, take your own advice
But then I’m left defeated
Already familiar with my set of lies

Audrey, you aren’t defeated, you’re only down for a bit, but you will get up and try again. If you’re still down tomorrow, you can lean on me.

You???? Lies???? Nope… not believin’that one…
Wishing for someone else’s life???? Nope… not fallin’ for that either…
Trying on different socks??? Okay… that one can be fun…
If that advice comes from that little voice inside… then you should always take it.
And of course…… we already “know” we can fly!!!

Especially the colorful socks, ones with pok-a-dots, swirls and cartoons on them.
Thank you for the smiles, Michael. This was a surprising find this evening. You have the best sense of humor. ♡
I learned how to fly from Peter Pan. He’s so much fun. 😉

You are only defeated once you surrender.
Never forget that saved and defeated are interchangeable there.

Thank you for allowing me to pull from your strength, C.
Not only interchangeable, but also applicable daily. I appreciate the reminder.
