woody guthrie

i've been thinking a lot today.
i've been thinking a lot lately.
somewhat feel like i'm going crazy...
so i put on the everybodyfields.
& i'm sitting in my room.
already shed a few tears
while soaking up this gloom.
want to figure myself out
but not sure if i want to do it too soon.
i might not like it
or i might find i already know.
i like this somber feeling
but the tune can spoil the show
so overwhelmed, so scared to be nobody.
so scared i won't do this whole thing right,
scared i won't be just me.
scared i won't make this path something that sets me free.
afraid i won't travel it as my own
& be too scared about what others see.

so i'm just gonna write and i'm going to try to make it clear. before i forget, get upset, or leave here. woody guthrie wouldn't be so scared. i've got to stand up and make this journey about me. and the people i love, and the world i see. find the things that make me me. but also let the me fade away, and invest my life in others. see things grow and build a life, all while making brilliant discoveries about this life. answer questions, but ask even more, figure out what i'm doing here for
