An eye opener


Confusion, 

You realize. 

Those people in life, 

Are just getting by. 

Strange, 

This world is, 

Imagination and creativity, 

Step, step, you just can't miss. 

Society, 

Reality. 

Perception, 

Acception, 

Perspective, 

Assumptions. 

Watch them, 

But you can't think like them, 

Assumptions. 

If you let your life go through the fingers of life, 

You're an empty bag, floating through an empty life. 

Lost and dark, 

Misery and seem to be gone. 

Why live a life on another, 

There's no you like no other. 

Galaxy so big, 

So small we are, 

This is is how our life ticks, 

And in ourselves, we do these tricks, 

We have these gifts, 

Us and our surroundings, 

We're already fixed. 

So meaningless it seems when looking up at the stars. 

We're going to die, 

Living life in perception before bye bye. 

Having that drive, 

And drive, not ride. 

Meaningless, 

But life a question, 

We have no answer, 

Only creation and assumptions. 

We want to be ourselves, 

We have the answers, 

There's no use in being anyone else, 

We are individuals. 

Anxiety and depression, 

Post-traumatic disorder and bipolar, 

All in our heads. 

Moreover, 

Meaningless in what we had said. 

Why you think and feel you do? 

It's not about the wants, 

Instead, it's you. 

Obsession, 

Obsessive, 

That is meaningless, 

That everything we do for some reason has some useness. 

We have this desire to try to find ourselves, 

And to live oneself. 

No logic, no reason, 

We are dumb, 

We are intelligent, 

We are gifted, 

we are pathetic, 

We are delusional, 

We are confused, 

We are amusing for all, 

And all of the above. 

We are nothing. 

But we can definitely, in our heads be something.
