HAVE IT ALL~

April Doyle 2095 (Torrance)




HAVE IT ALL

LIFE KEEPS ROLLING ON JUST LIKE THE SEASONS
WE’VE ALL GOT TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE REASONS
SO I’LL BE MOVING ON… ITS JUST MY TIME
IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT FOREVER ON MY MIND

ONCE IN AWHILE, YOU GET THE FEELING
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE TIRED OF DEALING……WITH IT ALL-
WHEN YOU’VE GOT TO TAKE A MINUTE
LOOK AT YOUR WORLD AND WHO’S IN IT…….AND MAKE THE CALL~
TO HAVE IT ALL

WE’RE TOLD NOTHING’S EVER PROMISED
AND LIVING UNDERCOVER IS NEVER HONEST
SO THOUGH I’LL LOVE YOU TILL MY TIME IS DONE
I NEED TO FIND MY LIGHT, AND SING MY SONG

ONCE IN AWHILE, YOU GET THE FEELING
WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE TIRED OF DEALING….WITH IT ALL-
WHEN YOU’VE GOT TO TAKE A MINUTE
LOOK AT YOUR WORLD AND WHO IS IN IT
AND MAKE THE CALL~ TO HAVE IT ALL
I’LL HAVE IT ALL

    Your poem is written well, great rhymes and flow. How brave of you to step out, to step toward, to step away. You already have it all- sometimes it hurts.

    This is a poem. How I know it to be. Why many younger people don't go for it. It doesn't have a straightforward meaning. Fine work.

    The meaning behind this poem is great, and why not have it all?
