So my friends,

I shall begin

With a few questions

To which I need some ends.

If you could just

Trust in what you must

Read what I say

And respond in your own way.

At what age did the following occur:

You became too good for a “yes ma’am, or sir”?

How old were you when you decided -

Your side was the only who deserved to be united?

It’s obvious that all higher ups only do for themselves

The working man and woman rarely ever hear the truth as is.

So many networks to cover, different angles to protect.

The higher ups never find the one that the whole public can respect.

Here is what I have learned

That people no longer yearn

For civility in a society where technology

Is basically controlling our biology and psychology.

Money may be the root of all evil, but it is also the root of all.

It has caused nations to abandon their view on the importance of Mother Nature,

And pass bill after bill causing hurt through the legislature.

It has caused civilians to turn a blind eye and allowed the higher ups to buy the bye.

What is an individual’s existence,

But a glorified system of assistance?

You help others, you help yourself

You try to contribute the best to everyone’s life wealth,

Some days you’re black, some days you’re white;

And others you ponder the range of right. 

Then as the days pass you realize more and more fast

That you control the day and you control the night

As long as you keep your eyes open to the sight.

Make the best of each situation 

No matter the degradation. 

Open your heart to the Universe,

And your soul will Converse.

Move like wind,

Stable like land,

Flow like water,

Interactive with one another...

Because...

Today,

You are...

Alive

You can't control or restrain

When your mind sends impulses in vain. 

Some chose to leave out of fear, 

Others stayed although they were unclear. 

They may have thought they understood 

And kept it up as long as they could. 

It's a hard illness to understand 

Because it seems like it takes you to another land. 

Before a seizure you find yourself 

Questioning reality as it appears itself. 

It almost seems like you float away 

No time, no space, or any idea of the day... 

When you come back to reality 

Memories of what you did no longer be. 

Sometimes it's just of the time you were gone 

And sometimes they precede so far they cause you to become withdrawn. 

You can't remember the first time you held your child 

You can't remember the first time she smiled... 

It breaks your heart each and every day 

You believe there has to be a reason, a why, or a way. 

You've gotten to the point where you're becoming isolated 

Any friend you've ever had makes you feel outdated. 

They either slowly or quickly lost communication 

And if you try to contact them, they treat you with frustration. 

You can't do the things you used to do 

You can't drive, socialize without paranoia, think without sadness, act without contemplation of it all falling through. 

The only people you have are your family 

And you wonder how often they speak behind your back about you being an anomaly. 

The family member who can barely make it, 

The family member who is able to admit 

The one who has the most problems 

When it started with one and slowly blossemed. 

Yet, they still don't understand 

How that person who had everything planned 

Can't keep it together for just a while 

Without leaving reality, being upset, or getting hostile. 

I flew through the morning sky ~

Cold and wet, flew low to high ~

I wasn’t sure where I was going ¿

Or if I knew what I was doing ?

I had no place to be >

No one that I needed to see <

All I knew was that I felt good !

The morning sun reminded me of my childhood ¡

I knew when I landed everything would change...

I wasn’t ready for things to be stressful and strange...

A person may not look around and see

The same reality as you and me.

They may believe that their choices are

The best for their life, near and far.

They may think it's a good idea to do

Something that others believe is a bad breakthrough.

Some have more insight than others.

Those individuals tend to wonder...

Why do people seem to make

Decisions that cause their world to shake?

What makes an individual choose

The path they think is best, even if they lose?

Well, a few suggestions to make this clear:

If an individual makes a decision, they may have done so to lessen their fear.

If their world shakes because of the choice,

It may lead them, after time, to rejoice.

One never knows what the future holds.

A person can be passive, apathetic, or bold.

Any emotion will make an impact.

As long as the individual's focus is exact.

Move like wind,

Be stable like land,

Flow like water,

Interactive

Because you are

Alive

Move like wind,

Be stable like land,

Flow like water,

Interactive

Because you are

Alive

To pick up sticks -

like when I'm having a fit,

because one can't believe what's real to me

that things aren't how it used to be.

I just don't understand...

This life swallowing me like quicksand.

I feel my insanity growing and showing ~

While my reality is slowing and whoa-ing...

As the days pass by,

I feel like walking towards the sky.

The light seems to increase,

while my soul play hide and seek.

Then the common sense strikes.

It is a feeling I doubt a single mind likes.

My responsibilities in this life are to thee

More important than any disassociation from reality could easily be.

I quickly bring my mind back into full swing.

Take a deep breath and change the steering.

Pick up my foot and make the first step,

For the next one I put, I may be maximum pep.

The one thing I must note,

If I ever again begin to float

Is that positivism is sight

And negativism is night. 

Ya see I know your face - 

It looks out of place

It twists and winds like leaves fallin so fine. 

I can't believe it came all the way to this game. 

If you would just step up, be true, 

Stop acting like you're too cool for us two. 

Things would work out - go on a good route. 

But no - not so. 

You wanna keep things simple - 

Without one ripple. 

You don't want to keep up 

And just sync up. 

You can't admit it.

Just quit it. 

And commit it. 

Cuz soon you'll see, 

There's no one better than me. 

My love's so strong, 

It wouldn't do you wrong.

Go ahead and be alone,

Soon you'll see - you sang the wrong tone. 

I know I messed up like a child, 

That don't mean you have to treat me all wild. 

It takes me a minute to get my grip, 

Why can't you understand I'm ab to slip?

You're the only thing that keeps me stable,

And anymore you can't even be able. 

I just need a minute to grab some time, 

Stop, let loose and read the signs. 

Ya have to give me that, 

Before your beer gets flat. 

Alcohol's a destructive drug 

Like the mug you swig as you shrug. 

Off the truth that I spout out my mouth 

Like the drink that keeps you from the brink. 

Just get over it and be true,

You were meant for me and I was meant for you.
