I often wonder why
as i look up the sky
how every day goes by
As I stay...
inside my mind...
loosing my time...
turning off the lights...
steady living with fright...and i just might...ima say i just might...
at the stage where my mind and my heart have interwined...
have lots of food for my thoughts...
bruises from emotions ive fought...

eyes burning from the broken dreams i have sought.
empty seems the reflection of what i once thought was protection...
and i had to stop chasing my sanity.
cuz it left me for vanity...
took a swing to my pride and hurt my dignity...
heart swollen infected with the false morals that were instilled in me.
Im tired of having to hide...
of always having to ask why...
of putting my feelings aside...
when no one else is considering mine..

of having so many things on my mind...
of never having the time...
of this little light of mine never finding its way to shine...
is there such thing as taking our time...
why is it that we never can?
why do things never go according to plan...
saying i cant go any further than this...
maybe the bus to meet me half way, they always miss..
Or maybe ignorance is truly a bliss...

So then what makes up the element of freedom?
what does it mean to be free, to be at peace?
because im sure as hell dying just to find a piece...
because my patience has decayed...
i once heard a friend say...that were dying to live, yet living to die..
feeling alive..but living a lie...
& im still left to wonder why...

but you know what..
i might always never have time...
& i might always look up in the sky & wonder how the days go by..
but i will always never let them strip me of my pride...
because its always ok to cry...
& my eyes are the mirrors of my soul...
so even if i went today...my story will not be left untold..
