Lure
Was it not that long ago
How I believe the world is beautiful…
How did it all change from just a tomorrow?
For today to only feel so resentful
I am different and its not because I choose to
Simply… I don’t follow along
I’m not different because I don’t belong to a chosen few
Simply… it’s your world that u see I’m too far gone
You can spare a thought for me
Just like how I do everyday for everyone I know
Or dismiss me because I’m not there for everyone to see
As I dismiss you when you only do things you are told
Money runs so much with the world we build
It’s hard for me to connect when its all the world believes in
I’m reminded even subconsciously to have to deal
That all we are taught is what making money matter… means
You don’t need me to tell you what is wrong with your life
Question is… do you know what is wrong with yours?
And I wonder the difference in living or to survive
When did what you believe in will you understand it’s lure?
