Various ShortsWake up from nightmarish life And find yourself contented Happy with job and wife And doing what you'd intended We spend so much of our lives Trying to define who we are Most look outside And those don't get too far Slowly learning Achieving, earning Pointing and aiming And always gaining Have you ever been walking Where noise and action abounds, But not noticed anything - Even the loudest of sounds? With thunder, loud A blackened cloud Replaces my insides; But look at me, You do not see My inner crashing tides. I was so happy yesterday But today I got a TV Now I sit in front of it And learn what's wrong with me We find nature's beasts Uncivilized and rude Working through a daily grind In order to get food The day is long, my eyelids, heavy But at home, my bed is ready To hold me up through dreams so deep "Goodnight to day," I fall asleep With passionate skill He moves in for the kill Touch with a warm chill Delivers the thrill It is possible for someone, Whom you've known for years, To become a complete stranger And nothing is what it appears. My shadow walks before me Twice my height in length, But it has no body So I must be it's strength. I am one of foolish pride, For how my tears are cried, They are not seen outside. Anguish bottled, kept within Will come back to haunt again, And thus, I will be done in. |
