By My Side

Ruffled for starters, confusion on the rocks a colloquy for beginners as scattered as blocks the more you think, the more you think more away from yourself you weaken your core Nothing was taught, they calculated it all thrown from a cliff: not expected to fall! a sign or an indicator would have sufficed I wish there was somebody by my side Words were flowers, I played with petal like a plant you hold inside a nubilous metal confidence reflected with replete pride I wish there was somebody by my side Qualities were belittled, expectations on list I shook hand; they used fist! smile was applauded; silence when I cried I wish there was somebody by my side A life of pain brought happiness surprise an amazing new world reflected me wise moment of truth stayed shallow and wide I wish there was somebody by my side Words were choked, feeling subsided nothing got touch what’s already resided I hankered them to see what’s inside I wish there was somebody by my side They went small, elevate to the big looking for reality in a bald man’s wig I then growled for things I abide In a hope to get somebody by my side The energy I gained, I realized, I had I kept smiling closest to sad, for a joyful life wherever I reside just a few hands I ask by my side
