Left In The Dark To Find The Missing Piece


It all started words,words that were heard and turned to thoughts...
I didn't know that he said, she said, thought that.I thought we were friends,I thought wrong.
I made friends that I thought would be there, would have been there and would be here... with me, to make it through the insanity.
Take a look around and what do you see?People... people trying to make it through the twenty-first century.
I guess life isn't easy, not even a little bit, not even close, not at all.
Now go home and what do you see...I hope you didn't think they were the enemy, the one's you would keep far far awayfrom EVERYTHING... did you?From your life, from your dreams, from your feelings and EVERYTHING that you will achieve.
These people that you see, everyday. Are apart of the nature and nurture that created you.Built you up and tore you down, did it again and made you strong.The smile that you fake, from all the hits you take...IT'LL TEAR YOU APART and leave you while you're weak.Left in the dark to find the missing piece.
So what I'm saying is, it doesn't matter what you do or say.Or the kind of "bigger price" that you've paid.NOJust be the bigger, better, healthier, stronger, wiser and you'er you that you can be. In the end, you'll thank me.
