Tether Ball

I don't remember who I used to be
so it doesn't get in the way of anything
I can't waste my time on worrying
because it takes everything
just to be set free
You can't change a letter
that has already been sent
and all of your dreams
just wait for movement
so I threw up the ball
to determine my place
but we were spinning so fast
that it just flew away
and I realized that
I should have tied it with string
but I'd have to cut it eventually
because it would pull so tight
until it came back around
and hit me so hard
that I fell to the ground
