IT.
It’s why we lie
and It’s why we cry
It’s why we cheat
and turn away from defeat
It controls when we smile
and controls when to fight
It controls what is vile
and controls what is right.
Why do you lie,
and why do you cry?
Why do you cheat
and turn away from defeat?
Does It control when you smile
and control when you fight?
Does It control what is vile
and control what is right?
What is this so called It
and why does it have so much power?
Why do we cower,
and let It devour?
It will decieve you
and It will transform you.
It will belittle you
and It will conform you.
It is deceit
and It is defeat.
It is a lie
and It allows realty to die.
Perception.
A wondrous place,
full of laughter and joy.
Constant new beginnings
full of excitement and toys.
A giant playground,
which is theirs for the taking
Eternal optimism
in the purest form.
Life through the eyes of a child,
it’s a beautiful place.
In life through the eyes of a child
cynicism and hate don’t exist.
The world through the eyes of a child,
what happened to this place?
Once a wondrous playground
is now full of darkness and hate.
For our vision has been clouded
by the corrupt ways of the world.
Our innocence robbed,
and our optimism continuously fading.
We’ve allowed our rosy colored glasses
to become tainted.
by the deceit of our desires
and the lies we long to believe.
But ignorance is Bliss.
For reality has become jaded
by the knowledge of supposed perfection,
and the desperation for approval.
A child’s perception of the world,
we all saw it this way once.
Life through the eyes of a child,
we cant lose sight of that place.
Let’s play a game….
Life is a journey,
a never ending maze.
life is a jourey,
can you see thru the haze?
Will you lose yourself
and become like the rest?
Will you lose yourself
or will you do whats best?
This jouirney can be a mess,
for the never ending maze
consists of a jaded world
intent on putting you in a daze.
But dont lose yourself,
because there’s beauty in the mess
and dont lose yourself,
Because reality leads to success.
Reality means taking a journey,
and allowing yourself to be a mess
Reality means taking a journey,
and never giving up on success.
