I bet you would be so proud of me I found myself again
Under piles of makeup and disgust
Under tank tops to hide the problem areas
Underneath a couple of years of disguise
There I was trying to not forget who I am

Back on my high horse
Preaching, teaching
information, education
How to be a better creation
Of your own making
If I fall off my pedestal
I'll surely die
because I'm up so high
Stop trying to knock my know-nothings
Filling the air with empty words
They only fall on deaf ears
Inspirational quotes
Shared on virtual screens
You get lost somewhere in between

You used all my veins as rail of train
we were beautiful like the haze
during the daydreaming phase
and now, the only thing that remains... is the pain

What about us together?
what about that sunny weather?
When I knew we were over
it was too late for a try of recover

People like me doesn't want to be crossing hearts
sad and red blood doesn't fill up all our bodies parts
and thanks to that, I realize that I'm too young to die
but without a deadly fight...
it will be impossible to bring our love alive

Socialized at birth,
We are taught to have it all,
That humans are king, as powerful as God,
But with this state of mind,
We are surely to fall,
It's only when you open your eyes,
You see we are everything, and nothing at all.
A leaf on a tree is just the same,
We all come from dust,
Stop living in vain.
We have to realize as humans, that we have no more importance than any other creature or living thing on this planet. I used a leaf as an example to really emphasize the importance of this idea. We all live on this planet together, we all depend on the health of this planet in the same way. As humans, however, We have a self proclaimed sense importance that leads us to negatively affect everything around us; This can be seen clearly through the unhealthy human behavior of pollution, deforestation, etc. I can say with confidence, however, that everyday people are not entirely responsible for these acts. The wood that fuels the fire, is money and greed, not at all hidden by large corporations that disregard anything and everything to obtain power. Now the sad realization is that these very corporations control our lives by only handing out enough money to live within their grasp and without power. It's with this lack of power in which we believe that we can do nothing at all, except live how we are told, but together we can make a difference.... Together we can change it all.

I walked around the world today
and I couldn't help but smile
yet I paid for that smile with pain
but at least I know I was happy for a while
and my cheeks don't hurt in vain

We are ****** into the reflective pools of narcissism that we hang on the walls,
pushing us further into the millions of
personalized tunnels of vanity
that lead to self-obsession and greed and ignorance.

These tunnels are separated
by thin pieces of glass,
through which the world and others existing in it
can be easily observed and interacted with if we choose to.
For some reason, though, we don't.

We are hypnotized by the images of ourselves.
We are fascinated with the way we feel,
not paying mind to how others emote.

"Listen to learn and understand,
not just to respond."

all they do is complain,
that life is such a pain.
all these things in vain,
please just refrain.
