Somebody Else's Clue

I was thinking of myself late one night
Since no one ever usually did
I remembered all things that happened to me
The good, the bad, and the in-between
I could see a simple lie that I once told
That happened to change my life
I could see a simple death that was foretold
That used to make me cry

There was a time when all the dreams I had
Were going to come true
But now I realize that all the time
I had somebody else's clue

I thought about all the times I was high
And then when I came down
I never wanted to leave my life
But I was already off the ground
Someone used to say that all things pass
But phrases like those never last
Thinking in maze will always make
Thoughts clouded in a daze

There was a time when all the dreams I had
Were going to come true
But now I realize that all the time
I had somebody else's clue

Get up every morning at my own time
The world has already started
Sometimes the day is rewarding
But mostly it's just a life
Raining on a street of small complexion
That's the one I like to walk
People across the street always talk
Cause I have no reflection

There was a time when all the dreams I had
Were going to come true
But now I realize that all the time
I had somebody else's clue

this has the makings of an original
poem, I think it might need just a little
editing, but the words make me think,
and that's good!

Hmm, I put things into two categories.  Yum and Eww.  This falls into the Yum Category, yum yum.
