When will the favorable Winds blow my way again . I wonder........ And I wonder..... When will my vanity And pride fall from my eyes, Allow me to see the real me I wonder ....... As I wander ......... I ponder on petty things.... The more I breathe The less of me i see , Entombed within these Walls made of masks Portraying appropriate personalities , In different social settings, The chameleon , Masquerading, Machiavellian . Star lit charlatan......... So many people I've been , Too many to ponder........ I really try not to.... Still I wander...... And as I do .... I can't help but to wonder Do people see me the way I have wanted them to? Some I do ....... Most I don't..... Either way Do or don't want to play The part Still just a Wanna be. Lost in a fantasy...... In a sea of my dreams.... I walk upon the waters ....... Peacefully I gaze deeply Down at my reflection I see my eyes reflecting the sky's.... And I wonder ......... A lonely tear distorts the vision And as the ripples flow in each direction........ Dissipating in amplitude and frequency ......... Until I can't see ...... Still I believe if not for the shore They will they go on ...... And the implication ....... Regardless intentions , Different dynamics, Will view my deeds from different perspectives . And tales will be told , The ripples you create..... Radiate .... From love ........ Can cause someone to hate And ......... If you are not being you..... How can you offer defense.... Only those you have completely fooled Might believe you...... I see connection ......... You aren't judged how you feel..... But by actions you do Which reflect and refract And with every act is a reaction And it's true ....... Johnny Cash can tell you..... "Bad news travels like wildfire. Good news travels slowwweww. They all call me wildfire, Cause everybody knowwowos Im bad newwwwws." Every body want to ..... Believe rumours about you . That way they feel a little better about What they do ... And so I ponder in my minds eye.. Each disguise reflects certain aspects of the real me. And if could actually remove all these masks ...... Who would I be? The question continually haunts me......... Who am I?
I wander in wanderlust Drunken on my memories. Laced with my perspective.... I have to believe ..... Each masquerade , My intention for every role I've played........ Was to help someone see You don't have to pretend to be someone your not Just to fit in ..... Does that make me hypocritical? I wonder ....
The dumb bomb ticking in my mind I'm afraid I'm gonna get paranoid
