Reflections

Get it through your head You aren’t the God you made yourself out to be Parading your skills Of art, speech and invincibility You can’t save everyone, my friend Your dreams can’t be your wall You’ve been asleep and blind this whole time And only now does your castle fall… No. We’re exactly alike, you and I Pitted against the unknown Only difference is I Was never so alone Now, hello me Meet the real me! You’re sweating bullets, friend. Tell me what you see. No. One and the same, you say? But you couldn’t be me I would never lose sight of my goal And I could never be set free… No. You’ve seen so little of this life Trapped in your gray haze Open your eyes and accept the light You’ll see, there will be brighter days. But you’ll have to work for them.

Thank you for a most enjoyable read today Derek. Hey the weekend is here now go enjoy yourself and keep that pen flowing with the new inspiration you will find along the way. That is what I have set in my mind to do. Love, Carol
