Essence

Locations

Living in Fear,

Driven by Hatred,

Manipulated by law,

Misunderstood...

Controlled by power,

Trick and decieved,

Taken for granted,

And not knowing right from wrong

But,

We are strong,

Living with love,

Driven by dreams,

Manipulating Sucess,

Controlling our life,

Breathing in laugter,

Taken for greatness,

And knowing how to live on,

We get confused,

Yet,

We get through it,

We are all different,

We're unique,

We're something special,

Simple,

We are humans...

Thanks hon. I enjoyed writing it.

It was witty of you to take works like "manipulating" and "controlling" and spinning them in a positive way, I did not see that coming. You have a strong voice, keep writing!

Thank you, sometimes words can have different meanings. Just because words seem dark and moody it doesnt mean the context has to be.
