Despair, despair, despair.
This world's without a care.

Nah, I won't do some dumb rhyme,
I'm just here to get my thoughts out.
I've got to worry about money, love, health...
It isn't enough just making it out of bed today.
I've got all these dreams, passions, ideals,
and no way to actually reach them.
Sure, it'd be fun to live apart from everyone.
Sure, I wouldn't mind falling in love.
Sure, everyone wants a job.

If only self-confidence and physical and mental capabilities were achievable
and anxiety wasn't my best friend.

the picture changes every day                                                          

Pe­rhaps the War is over
                Let's step outside

////                      

         Everybody has a name

Everybody sure is known                                  

                        ­      And all things are              understood

••                                  ­                
I know you love me why do you hide. ?
                                         ••


The silken day of streets like this

We walk like strangers

Yet only love is real

/--/

             Rain is             beautiful

Reminds us of the holiness

Of everybody's dream

|||

I see you in your finest vision of yourself



Come

Let us not be strangers any more
A pheasant found a sunflower,
And perched on the arch,
And munched,
A little every day at an early hour.

What a way to go -
Obscene remains ragged on the tall stalk,
Startling the tactful dying all around,
The soothing autumn sinking-away-in-a-glow -

A murdered man on show!
Hurt me if you should,
Just tell me the truth!*


¤
Truth hurts but lies are a lot worse.
... you have to step
back
in order to

move forward

If you are going to shine in this world,
it is essential to know:

You will cast shadows.

People will hate you for
the darkness,
instead of praising you
for clarity.
Shine anyway.
