You've thought of it haven't you?
The idea that we are more than human
It's a rather big assumption
And who am I to be assuming

We yearn for more
But we're given less
No Solutions it this life
Try the next

We are given the word soul
A common cliche
But the definition sticks
We've all had something to say

What happens when we die ?
Is the end the beginning or the beginning the end
Were we fed a lie
Left with nowhere to be send

Time will tell
And we will see
Don't let this keep you in a cell
What must be will be

I can feel the greatness in my veins
But I don't know how to bend it
How do you turn art out of pains
When your story hasn't yet ended

I want to let them in
But do I want the attention
Will I do it for the win
And gain their affection
Do I need their opinions comments and thoughts
Or am I better off
Alone with my thoughts

I can set it free
Let it change and inspire
I can let them see
What a heart can desire
Michael Smit Nov 2018
When there's nothing left to say
And they chose their path
Will you give away
Will you turn to wrath

Will you fall, and say that you're okay
Or will you sway like a fairy of a new day
Will you be the better man
And say that you can
Or will you tear yourself apart
Forgetting about God's plan

If they leave
Let them go
If they come back
You will know

He doesn't do anything without meaning
That you know
So drop the feeling you're feeling
And let go

Let yourself fly
As high as you may
Don't lose your try
Ignore what they say

You can do anything
If you allow yourself
You can try everything
He looked at himself
Michael Smit Nov 2018
It's hard to remember what you've learned
When all the tables have turned
Leaving you burnt

But within those flames you found power
Like a phoenix from the ashes we rise
Flying high, at the highest tower
Watching the morning sunrise

But you never stay the same
Every now and then you change a lane
In a constant becoming
Always drumming and humming
To something

I'm not sure
That there's a cure
If I'm broken and alive
If a piece of me survived

I seem to be breathing
But am I truly okay
Am I still feeling
Or did that too fade away
Michael Smit Nov 2018
I don't want to choose sides
And don't you dare force me
There is a fight that hides
One only I clearly foresee

You sometimes make me sick
To extremes that I only sleep
You lay it on so thick
That my heart can't help but weep

So then I distance myself
Till the storm is away
It's better for my health
And than to do what you say

I still love the both of you
But sometimes love is a arrow
Even if its true
It left my choices narrow

I don't want to see you fight
Go do it somewhere else
I'll go look for light
And listen to some church bells
Michael Smit Nov 2018
They say only dead fishes go with the flow
But I don't know
I don't mind a slow flow, you know?
Drifting toward something I don't know
It's how you grow, you know?
Grow your flow
Michael Smit Nov 2018
You may sometimes feel like nothing
Just wishing to feel something
But Oh you beautiful being
What are you not seeing ?

Perfect is a myth
And we all have our trouble
Don't keep staring at your monolith
We all came from the rubble

We cried inside
Lied and hide
But no one is superior
We're human to the exterior
Try to zoom in
And see that you're human
You were trapped in perfects illusion
