Small city, big dreams
Century-old churches,
Closed recreational parks,
Crummy streets,
Beat-up roads, huge malls
Unpainted houses, fresher air,
Homemade pancakes for lunch,
Cheap hamburgers and skateboarding shoes.

People come and go,
Uncherished moments,
and then Johnny said, "you can't put your arms around a memory."

admiration thickens, when our minds are completely alienated
when our hearts understand each other in much deeper sense

dilating brown eyes were locked in,
the most beautiful part of my life, you.
simple perfection, you come as you are

but winds hit heavy,
fate wasn't on our side
caught us unready
unwritten rule mortals abide

Now it's nothing, lost love.

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
Songwriters: Bob Dylan

Dreamy eyes,
He thinks he's not for this deadbeat town but too unfortunate to have fate of his own
Industrial amusements, dead-end jobs,
Closed parks, dying businesses, price hikes, hunger strikes, unskilled degree holders, unfulfilled dreams, unbearable interest rates.
Before being born, life decided he'll be a slave of the system, retirement plan won't be enough to buy his freedom.


A happy-go-lucky slob or a problematic working-class?
"Ahhhhh the mistery of life"
---Homer Simpson

Left enchanted by unseen wonderfulness,
Intangible attributes could hold so much power
And yes, naked eyes won't see such easily
Peculiar taste in beauty shall all we differ

Like a diamond in gold rush, worthy but unwanted.

My obsessive thought and naivety on life,
This night, no pain cures ignorance and time passes so slow, could even see myself staring blankly
People change, life moves on and I am still, unchanged and uncultured.
Neighbours sound so happy
I want to be happy

I need hallucinations to be happy
But i chose to be alone and unhappy

Witness of broken promises
Bearer of complete unhappiness
Deep down inside the unknown
Feelings are forgotten and thrown

~
You disappoint me and let me down
I am afraid to act strange 'cause
I don't want seeing you sad.
Looking for a new place to begin,
Feeling like it's hard to understand,
But as long as you still keep peppering the pill,
You'll find a way to spit it out again

<the title is a song, note is the song's chorus, song was written by Alex Turner for a film called "submarine", a UK coming of age film or deeper rom/com released in 2010(i think) a really good movie, not connected to this poem, tho.

While he kept on struggling her neck
It is him, the real one who chokes
Death flirts viciously, she is so flattered
