This is a matter of internal affairs.
The people need a leader but the leader isn't there,
So they don't know what to do
Because mom and pop only taught them how to follow.

The problem isn't them, the problem is you
Blaming everybody else for the **** you didn't do.
Your parents didn't tell you that the world wouldn't wait.
They forgot to tell you that power is influence.

And you let yourself get influenced.
The affair is internal because all you got is you.
When there isn't anything left,
What the **** will you do?

I bring you a message,  one simple and true

Want what is real, not plenty but few

You shouldn't look past such small events

To absorb every scene, all the colors, all the scents

See yourself change while time passes by

The times that you live, the times that you cry

Little do we acknowledge small parts of our lives

Things that have no meaning but are sharp as knives

In some cases, we will never see the things

Life will still go on, even if you miss the message this poem brings
Everything  starts with a begining

Why are there good things?
Why are there blessings?
And weddings?
And love?
Why is there a natural beauty that surrounds us?
In the trees,
And the sky.
In the little birds twittering in the mornings,
And the sorrowful wolves crying in the dusk.
Why are there families?
And holidays?
And friends?
Why are there walks to be taken?
And cakes to be making,
And songs to be written
And times to be smitten?
We are known as humans to dwell on the bad
But take a look around,
Life isn’t that sad.
Open your eyes to the possibilities,
Open your heart and you too will see,
The beauty hidden just out of sight.
It takes a special someone to be able to reveal,
The secrets in life that are the real deal.

My thoughts may drift off throughout the day, I'm a dreamer what can I say??
But firmly on the ground my feet do stay
That I won't deny , no need to lie
There's more to me than what meets the eye
So look beyond what your eyes can see,
Before you go assuming & judging me
Regardless though I'll still continue on peacefully & worry free
That's just how I am, I just be!!
