Watching the wheels

Since a few days, maybe weeks or months, even years, perhaps, I was thinking of writing a post on what my state of mind is. But somehow I just didn't feel like writing anything. Then, out of nowhere, a song came to mind: John Lennon's Watching the Wheels. I'd to search the lyrics to know why it came to my mind. Surprisingly, its *exactly* what I want to say:

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now... you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice, designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy? You're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Just a thought from me
On who's on the wheel
Is it the people who go round and round
Or the ones who are standing still ...

Me I think I am off the wheel
And still I stand in peace
Just like the Sun goes round and round
the Earth standing at ease ....

Cheers
