More Like You Than I Thought
More Like You Than I Thought
I'm more like you than I thought
I learned more than you had taught
I thought I was different, unlike you
You were the false, I was the true
My life would fly, not on the ground
You were the lost one, I was the found
I found another path I wanted to take
Didn't want to make your same mistakes
I knew it all, least more than you
I didn't want to do what you did too
Years and life have run along
Singing tunes to the same old song
What I think now, what I thought then
Like you, depends on where I've been
I ran through time, like wine in a glass
Moving so slowly, traveling so fast
Things about you, I disliked the most
Are now present in this temporal host
You're good, bad, indifferent too
Appears within for all to view
I realize this now, I know I'am caught
I'm more like you than I ever thought
Daniel- 6/2013
