That Fleeting Feeling

so much is held within silence, that has yet to be appreciated
while everything that is nothingess, yearns to be satiated
and elated with understandings that are demanding
too much

I've been searching this whole time for what was already there
as the the crimson and hazel eyed me down with a stare
to remind me just how kindly that life remains unfair

unfair in words that could never be expressed
forever leaving my heart with not but a guess,
a request that keeps me utterly hanging, still
un-changing between two crooked dimensions
simply, only longing for the attention

spent my words trying hard to be cheap
while sanity seemed to take the back seat
I could only try to keep calm for so long before
I tasted the meaning of this beautiful song

sing to me the meaning of what it means to smile

perhaps just to lay in the sun for a while,
in comfortable silence that's just understood,
i get it, you get it- its all good

but maybe im just dreaming and it wasn't okay
for the clouds seemed to cover the sun on that day

should've just stayed and spared my last change, then maybe
my words would be slightly arranged.
but this deranged state of mind can find reason for being,
it's just another feeling that to experience is fleeting.

in the end I remembered I had a voice, 
with the realization that happiness is always a choice.
