The Simplicities Of Life
Driven by anger
Consumed by hate
But still,
I don’t discriminate
I do not tell lies
I speak only truth
I only take what’s mine
I do not steal
I see life,
Through my own eyes
Living in a world of disaster
Dealing with mistakes every day
I’ve held back
Tried to hide the tears
Now its too late
Let them pour
Getting to the point of indecision
Should I even care
Not just one thing goes wrong
Things flow like a stream
Just by one mistake
Followed by another
And another
Trusting freely
Has gotten me nowhere
I look at the world
Some things I just don’t understand
The people so fake
Acting, playing, as if they do not see
Not only do I see
I feel,
I feel down to the bone
So much misery
So much taken for granted
Life is a gift
Freewill is the light in the dark
Does anyone get what I mean
So many choices to be made
There are many paths to take
The path always taken
The path barely walked
I go where no one has gone before
I break down the trees
I cut the grass
To see the light
The wide open sky
I want a different view
No one is me
I live for the moment
I live for my dreams
Feeling as if the world does not see
The harmony in the gentle birds
The beauty of the sleek dark night
The passion in the deep blue sky
The simplicities of life
No matter how small
No matter how tiny
The simplicities of life
