The Lives We Live




Calm and quiet on the surface
A storm brewing within
A picture of perfect beauty
Something lurking beneath

The many faces of the truth
And the hidden lies
The pride of blood relations
Shame of secret ties

Familiarity with the popular
Ignorance of the familiar
Following the great leaders
But setting no example

Chasing childhood dreams
Growing up realities
The joy in everything
The fading enthusiasm

Lonely hearts, lonely prayers
Hoping for life’s miracles
Always an underlying struggle
The story of the lives we live

More Than An Idea

I'm more than an idea of me..

I'm a possibility you could have chanced upon..

I'm a dream you woke up from

and waiting to fall asleep to dream again..

I'm your 'could-have-been'

and 'should-not-have-been'..

I'm a wish you still hold onto..

yet letting go with each moment..

I'm what you feel and think..

yet I'm more than your idea of me..
