Really?


Yea?  So today is here...
     So I made it thru the night.
That doesn't mean that you
     or my life is right.
But "You  love me."
      "You just want me to be okay."
If only you realized that
      your way,
         is not the only way!
So you've molded yourself
      to community standards.
So you speak all proper...
      in  societies words!
But... are you really happy?
      Are you really proud?
Or are you just uptight,
      holier and loud?
Do you actually remember 
      having lived all the things
             your preaching about?
Or have you forgotten
      what life is painfully
             all about?
Can you remember what  its
      like to want and need?
Do you remember how it feels
     to have kids to feed/
Do you know what its like
     to truly love?
To  be grateful for 
     the man above?
Or have you forgotten these
      little things?
Like the joy that a simple
      smile brings!
Can you honestly say
       you know how to feel...
Or do you only know how to
       pretend your human and real?
 Do you know who you are?
       Do you have any clue?
Do you really care about me?
       Or is it just all about you
