The river is dammed to
Slow natural flow
Inserting our control
On what was once free

You and me
Are now rivers
Full of power
And might
But are controlled
By concrete and steel

Force to move through
Narrow gaps
And to give ourselves up
To turn generators
Told our sacrifice
Is for the better
Nothing is definite in the world today
no matter what people say
the American dream
covered by screams
silence by politics and democracy
when the ideal world is based on anarchy
help each other
to help one another
not for a price whatever that may be
but because it's why we were created, people don't see
life is indefinite
but our effects are infinite
conservation
for the future generation
overrun by a system
for not us but them
they don't exist
but are the reason for change not to be dismissed
are we really doing if for the future of them or us?
social acceptance and helping people climb in to the system is it for the future or for our generation, for us!
The more you do to correct yourself:
the more attention you bring to your flaws.

You're the greatest critique of yourself.
If you stop judging you,
people will have to live with who you are!

In return you become stronger,
admired for your pride.

Not torn down by opinions
you make based on how
society is standardised...

so all benefits are erased when
self-acceptance of flaws is achieved.
You will not be torn down
because you're too strong for them...

and you stand above what is thought of you
because only you can make yourself rise above them.
Without silence
sound would be
unappreciated
My fear
Of no one ever loving me again
Love is something everyone needs
Including me
This is not a poor me
Just something about me
You see, there is no difference in me
My heart as well bleeds
I should take the lead
Then vulnerable I would be
Something I cannot be
I have been there you see
And
It just about destroyed me
That need
That is what stops me, to proceed
I have learned how and became content with
it just being me
Caused by my one true love leaving me
Because there was something else that they needed
Unfortunately that need was not me
Believe me I did not agree  
I have no trust left in me
Nor love to give from me
So my fear has become my reality
I am lying here in bed
With no one next to me
Of course I have the fly byes
But
No one that I can look deep into their eyes
No prize
Maybe I should try
But then why should I lie
I have never been able to forget
or forgive

My fear
Is really not being able to love
again
!!
; it was his fault,
I couldn't have stopped him,
The nightmares kept him,
In my fighting mind,
My tears weighed too much,
But my body was strong,
His hands were too weak,
To steal happiness,
I did not fall for his tricks,
He couldn't take who I am,
He tried to break me and everything I knew,
But I was strong,
So I ran away.
