Mirrored Images Of Yesterday

[1st v:]

Time goes forward
Time goes backwards

Where one finds themselves
Is what in time
One learns
They have placed too much
Effort
While worth all....
Sits away on the shelf

Pictures are worth
A thousands words

Saying much more
Than what would ever be said

Burning like the ambers
In the hearth

Give one more inch to the mile
Travel a little more in time
Trying to find
Just what is ....
Worth while

[1st ch:]

Make believe its better
Stays....exactly
All
Just the same
Straight to the letter

Believing in the fairy tale of lies
No room for truth
No room for anything else
Unfortunately the truth shows
What can not be hidden
Within your eyes

Well wishes for what ....?
Mirrored images of yesterday
Hang around
Some kept alive by pure stupidity
Fueled by....
Empty fantasies

[2nd v:]

The truth cast aside
No one cares
They never did....
They all
Have too much to hide

Get it all in gear
Tear away from the sides
All
Of what they fear

Who they are
They don't even know
They've taken the lies
Way too far

Kick back
Let the dreams come to life
Why not....?
They fill in the details
Of what their life
Seriously lacks

Humor finds its way to them
Casting a bright light
Exposing the truth
They ignore
Once again

Never....never fear
Just a few more lies
Just a few more fake smiles
Then you can run home....

Run....run home....run away and
Close the door
And shed your tears

[2nd ch:]

Make believe its better
Stays....exactly
All
Just the same
Straight to the letter

Believing in fairy tale lies
No room for truth
No room for anything else
Unfortunately the truth shows
What can not be hidden
Within your eyes

Well wishes for what....?
Mirrored images of yesterday
Hang around
Some kept alive by pure stupidity
Fueled by
Empty fantasies



Written: 1/31/2009


Inspired by ~ The stupid class reunion....the ones I for sure could not stand then, prove to still retain the same fake disposition they had once before! Proving time changes nothing....and that the fact is just that, some people never change! They lie and pretend others do not know the truth, they tell their lies through their fake smiles....unbelievable! But, the misery they got as a gift for all the poison they contained and spewed, never awakened them to the plain and simple fact, that the problem was " them" no one else! And this goes for many out there in the world! Why is it so hard for so many to be real? Is the truth that ugly....or is it felt, the truth is too boring, or both!? ~
