Why is it that whenever I pretend to love, or try to think of how it would look, I see you?

You
in the end, I think none of us really are sane. and that's what makes me insane.

sanity
Judging is about as pointless as a water-skiing budgerigar Because all it does is bring people down Turn once proud smiles into bitter sullen frowns You never know the whole story So why would you dismiss them, morning glory? Take for example that homeless man out on the corner He was a vet that served his country with pride and decorum But when he got back home his job had been taken By a young upstart who's boots were still shaking His pride was shattered and his spirit was gone So he had to move slowly along All he could do was beg to survive While so many people make comments and deride My point here people is try your best to not judge another Because you never know of that one day may be you sleeping under a bridge with no cover

Judging
He walks amongst you Smiles at you Yet trusts no one, Not even himself; How can he? As a child, you hide under the covers Safe. But he tosses and turns to the rhythm of gunfire. Dreaded dreams of fallen comrades, Within his mind, he can never be Safe. Waking hours are no comfort Wandering Plagued by demoralizing daylight exposing the death, Witnessed in his wake He numbs his emotions instead of heartache Wandering. I walk among you I try to smile Yet I’m drowning, reliving that nightmare I don’t even trust myself How could I?
