I Have to Find It
I love the sound of people's feet.
I feel them scampering along;
The hustling scurry,
The frantic fleeing.
As I look around
I can't help but wonder,
Why are they in such a hurry?
What is the meaning of all of this hustle?
From what are they fleeing?
I sometimes realize my nigh
The people's frantic fleeing there
Am I that different?
Am I so frightened?
I stop--
I reflect--
I notice--
I am no different than all of these people
Because I'm fleeing something of my own.
Refusing to believe my life
Uninterested in my life,
I start to wonder
I start to feel.
Everyone else seems to have love
I've been looking, oh trust me.
I've been trying.
I've been scouring and searching for a whisp of affection,
Is there something wrong with me?
Do I have to change?
Is there a way to get away from reality?
I'm so lonely...
I'm getting scared...
Maybe I've been looking for the wrong love.
Is there some sort of lie I live?
Am I pushing away the world?
I have to feel,
I have to find it.
I stopped running with the crowd,
So many are still frantically fleeing about
Searching for the love I have.
There are so many things one will notice
When blinded my everyone else's life.
The human ability to be nieve;
The human ability to judge.
I just had to have the courage to do it--
Just have the courage to come out and say it
So you can have this love too.
