Really
Yea? So today is here...
So I made it thru the night.
That doesn't mean that you
or my life is right.
But "You love me."
"You just want me to be okay."
If only you realized that
your way,
is not the only way!
So you've molded yourself
to community standards.
So you speak all proper...
in societies words!
But... are you really happy?
Are you really proud?
Or are you just uptight,
holier and loud?
Do you actually remember
having lived all the things
your preaching about?
Or have you forgotten
what life is painfully
all about?
Can you remember what its
like to want and need?
Do you remember how it feels
to have kids to feed/
Do you know what its like
to truly love?
To be grateful for
the man above?
Or have you forgotten these
little things?
Like the joy that a simple
smile brings!
Can you honestly say
you know how to feel...
Or do you only know how to
pretend your human and real?
Do you know who you are?
Do you have any clue?
Do you really care about me?
Or is it just all about you?
