I weep for those broken dreams,
for those shot straight down by self doubts,
for self confidence or the lack of thereof

I weep
I weep for the time passed unused, questioning one's abilities,
instead of letting them flourish,
practicing and learning,

I weep
I weep for those times when that 'no' at first knock put as 'NO' for ever

I weep for those souls who feel too old,
too small,
too young,
too worthless,
too dumb,
too short,
too many things in the face of their dreams

As those glorified self image seems shattered and stupid
We are all the same
no better one than the other
Comparisons are futile
the only bars are the ones from within
The only way is inside out
help each other out
one step at a time
then
WE.ARE.GOOD
always

With worries and wounds,
        stay because,
...
    care ...

To find somewhere I feel I belong
Someone to connect with
Without pretences
Without hidden motives
Without prejudices

Someone to share,
someone who cares

Some place peaceful and nice
Cozy and warm
Like their welcoming open arms

In a patch of this world
Real or surreal

As I never cared for shiny objects.
until I felt I lost mine,
Illumination,
What feels like in a sudden,
There are so many from them,
Those people,
covered in gold and diamonds,
shining away from their high pedestals,
Stunning, ... captivating,...
I sat there in silence,
admiring from afar,
and once in a while when they come down from their higher ground,
I follow them around, --
I follow them around, ...
My existence is a wish of theirs,
wispy and feeble,...
...
There is a beggar on the ground,
begging for a second chance,
trampled and forgotten,
I don't know her,
I don't know her story,
As much as I know these sparkles,
they can't be the same kind...
Boring and uninteresting,...
So I scold at her,
ignored her,
as mine and me alone gasp for my care,...
Too easy...
Because it was too easy...

The world was not what he knew no more
The reflections had betrayed him
All the pains were coming back
Inhibiting
Slowly
Reality sunk back in
Heavy and suffocating
Shackling

The music's changed
The party is still going on
Full of people he didn't recognise
Is he still a part of it?
Is he still invited?
What does it matter?
Everything
To him
Everything he knew of
Almost
And what it took to run was a blink away
