Staying True
The way life works
Isn’t exactly a mystery
Something to find forever lurks
To only know yourself for it to be
It’s hard to stay true with majority
We all have already done too many things we never thought we’ll do
What I call a short term priority
To forget who we are instantly until...
I no longer chase my dreams anymore
So much dreamful achievement forgotten away
And it isn’t because I cannot stay true for
It’s that... I’m in augmentation towards the changing world everyday
I can understand change
Something I ponder of one too many times
Sooner will I or the world let wane
Have you a dream done or one day reminds?
You can stay true for yourself to be
To only change with consequence for it all to work
Isn’t exactly at all anymore a mystery
Because... an alternative will forever and ever lurk
