Life often speaks in rhythm & blues whispering trumpets to bended ears, while reminding us that smiles belong only in photographs; and tears behind the curtain of an indifferent face We walk fine lines, between tragedy and genius, lines so rarely straight we seek balance in mediocrity and solitude in unfinished lifes We become incomplete puzzles forcing squares into circular places by tearing away pieces of the whole and conforming to the empty spaces some things were never meant to be changed We place people into boxes, neatly organizing them by the labels we give their cracks and flaws seldom ever realizing that broken has a beauty all it's own, and... some things were never meant be mended

Life, Lines, and Labels
Life often speaks in rhythm & blues whispering trumpets to bended ears, while reminding us that smiles belong only in photographs; and tears behind the curtain of an indifferent face We walk fine lines, between tragedy and genius, lines so rarely straight we seek balance in mediocrity and solitude in unfinished lifes We become incomplete puzzles forcing squares into circular places by tearing away pieces of the whole and conforming to the empty spaces some things were never meant to be changed We place people into boxes, neatly organizing them by the labels we give their cracks and flaws seldom ever realizing that broken has a beauty all it's own, and... some things were never meant be mended
