Make heads or tails of itA Poem by MarinaMy mood's just like a flipping coin That I can't keep from changing Sometimes I hold my head up high Then my tail's between my legs again As I withdraw, avoid and allow me to sink I wish for a little bit of nothing a little bit of nothing Life balances like that same coin, I can't keep it from tumbling One moment a sweet smile paints my sky bright The next someone else makes it rain again As I profoundly push the world away I wish for a little bit of nothing just a little bit of nothing Then as the coin lands in my favour Along the swings of the swing, swing up high Smiles and adrenaline dance inside me Blessed by his imprints on my restless half As I cling to the unknown for a better change, I wish for a little bit of something just a little bit of something Then I reach out and clench the coin In a firmly closed fist that trembles There's got to be something more to see, this can't be all that I can be As I leap in, run wild, chase rabbits I wish for a little bit of something strong a little bit of something strong
