Are we Alive?

Be kind, Rewind

All the way back to a simpler time

When all it took was a smile from a friend

To make you feel like you were living again

Today is a sad cacophony of “we don’t care” and “who has time to dream”

We forget why we live, we forget what it means

We get caught up in the fight and blame it all on our humanity

We’re too afraid, too full of pride to admit it’s because of vanity

With blind intent we’re a band of thieves

Taking from each other the truth to being happy

Wake up from the numbness, this repetition keeping us enthralled

Give a little to a stranger, find your purpose and find your call

Fight hate with love, love those who hate

With little steps towards a bigger fate

We can defeat the liars disguised as moral men

Together let’s uncover

A reason for us to live again

LONELY

Perfection has its mighty imperfections

They may see you as perfect but I see the battle of inner dissatisfaction

Keep your head up, you say; keep your chin held high

Don’t let your exterior expose what you hide

You’ve constructed a pretense but it’s just an illusion

Beneath this façade is both lucidity and confusion

By unmasking your reality, I could find all the answers

Or this unveiling could lead only to more questions

Curiosity has the best of me and I can’t let you go

The undisclosed conversations are what taunt me the most

Dear friend, being lonely will never bring you joy

Break down the walls that conceal you from the world

Leave the comfort of being alone in the debris of your barrier

Leave the past where it is, there’s no need to bring it with you

I’ll be right beside you as you step towards the future

Where there is no need for hiding

The imperfections in yourself are your true hidden beauties

It’s your flaws that, in my eyes, make you perfectly prince charming

So step out into the light, there’s no need to be so lonely
