I try to pretend we're different But in the end We're all the same
Who am I to change Then claim evolution For myself And I My selfish eyes Saw two more In the mirror Foresight Like glasses To help focus Reflections Can change over time Like When puddles run dry Or ponds turn drought I hope With the heart of a thousand soldiers These tears Will last long enough For me to remember The pain I usually sleep through the rain So summer thunders Under sunlight and lightning Are often forgotten Half-experienced Like a half-hearted attempt At commitment Resented As the public at large Resends there sentiment Only to be denied At the front door
The courage It takes To approach the front porch Of recluse And extend in invitation Should be enough To impress me However, Returning to society Is a leap of faith That even bravery Can't help me take
