You told me life was crazy
Never about the snakes in the grass
You told me they were evil
One bite- I would never last
I know I'm not perfect,
But I promise you it's worth it.
It might sound cheesy,
But for me it's not easy
To tell you how I feel.
If you gave me a chance,
Standing, arms crisscrossed as the dead, I stand.
And now she let's lose in soft lips a coo
"Trust me"
"I'll catch you"
She's waiting, but I'm still standing
because
what -what if she doesn't?
In a world of black and white,
be the shades of grey.
They bring value to each day.
In a world of broken dreams,
be the shining star.
You can reminds each boy and girl,
There's always that boy in the corner,
whom appears to be a foreigner.
Nobody ever seems to talk to him,
or even take considration that his name is Tim.
He's quiet as a mouse,
In society people pin themselves in categories
Ones that they aspire to be apart of
Ones they are apart of
And ones that they want people to think they're apart of
This causes shame
It was the chance of a lifetimeTo explore a far away worldFilled with endless possibilities
The masses unrelenting,
dictating thoughts.
Think?
No.
Stop.
Listen and follow.
Follow my command.
Who are you?
Me?
I am you.
You are we.
There is no I.
Say something
Before I shake the words out of you
Scream at me until you can't feel the pain
Thrashing in agony in bitter silence
If you don't project, they won't remember your name
They say, life is like the sun
Full of energy
And bright as can be
They say, death
Is an ever changing
Prolonged unsolved mystery
They say, love is forever
never forgotten in a sea of misery
I want to tell you
"I love you"
But I am just too scared.
Whatever would you think of me,
if indeed you heard
The flutter of my expectant heart,
The quickening of my breath,
Do you know how it feels to be not scared?
I do
I know what it's like to so sure
Of something it hurts
So be not scared with me
Let's be fearless together
