Maybe I'll Swim

I'd like a better plan
Than the one I have now
I wish I could say I had my whole life planned out
And be happily surprised when something
Unexpected happened.

That'd certainly be nice.
I found a quote.
I'll tell you right now...

"Part of life,
it seems,
is starting over again and again,
each time a little smarter than the last.
It's frustrating but,
and I'm guessing here,
ultimately rewarding."

I wrote it somewhere public
And lied about who it was from
I said it was from a Christian
Internet
Blogger
Who I like almost everything he writes about
When really,
It's about a guy's who's profession
Is unhealthy
And fairly unaccepted by society
Unless you're in Washington D.C.
Or San Francisco
Or somewhere else
Where no one cares what you do

It doesn't matter,
Who cares?
It's a good quote
From a shady guy
Who's name I'll forget in a month.

I wish the next time I started my life over
Or maybe the next time after that
I had a reason to swim
I wish I was good at it

What a strange thing to wish
What a strange wish to wish

Maybe I'll swim
...but probably not
I'd love to tell that to someone,
To muster up motivation to achieve that goal

But truth be told,
It's not something I want in my plan
The plan I want to go horribly wrong.

Who knows though,
Something might come up
Where it fits perfectly

The next time I start my life over,

Maybe I'll swim...
