Sitting at the kitchen table
With his head in his hand
Worried that he was unable
To go ahead as planned
The pieces of his invention
Were cluttering up the space
He did not have the vision
Was tired of the chase
But then he had a thought
His face began to smile
It was not all for naught
It was about changing style
He had to re-invent himself
Find out who he could be
Put his ego on the shelf
Try out a different key
If the old ways do not work
Better to try something new
Instead of going berserk
And maybe a little bit crazy too
The most important thing
Is to think outside the box
To see what it would bring
To consider his own paradox
If my reasoning is sound
And not influenced by my mind
I will never again be bound
Marveling at what I may find
Not letting the past hold me back
Putting myself into the here and now
Disregarding what I may lack
Boldly going ahead anyhow
Will open up the whole wide world
Take away the clutter in my head
Confirm what I had previously heard
Affirm what I had previously read
Never again will I be a slave
To limitations of my own
No, I can be bold and brave
In ways I had not known
The beauty of this re-invention
Is so easy now for me to see
I can go ahead without pretention
And re-assemble my new me
