Drifting

if i could spend a few minutes away from me
not just to assume some other idenity.
but to know what it's like to just  be free
,from the everyday stress and anxiety
to just drift peacefully thru the air ,
 with no pains no  worries or no cares.
only then can i see these joys i got , 
and i'll no longer pretend to be something i'm not 
     for
i cannot deceive the world for others wealth,
i can only stand in the shadows of myself
 and hold on to the justice that telltales in my soul
, that rushes into the eyes that betray us as a whole 
my character is the diamond that scratches every other stone, 
for character is the power that right the world from wrong......
