Wrong
When we are born into this world we never think that our dreams can be shattered and
torn apart
We never think that any one of our hopes can be crushed because we hold them so dear in
our hearts
We go on thinking that we can achieve anything that pops up in our little head
Then we grown up into the bitter reality of instead of our dreams being something that
we can look forward to its now become something we dread
As a child we would have never be able to fathom that our lives could end up so messed
up the way they did
We set out goals high and searched for those stars not knowing that they were out of
reach because we were kids
Now as we sit here all grown we know better then to reach for the stars and have our
expectations never met
We learned that the future is something that we can look forward to but also just anther
thing that we will soon regret
Where can the line be drawn when its comes down to our dreams being shattered by someone
else’s tongue
Where can be go when we only see failure and the emptiness from staring at this loaded
gun
I used to say that we could live our lives in a search to always find the next thing
But in the end of that search there’s nothing better to do then to start over and begin
As a child I thought that when I grew up that I would have all my dreams come true
Too bad we could keep that mind set of always believing even though were bound by all
that we cant do
I look to my dreams that I Had set and I see how they crumbled in my hand
I see how I risked them all for just a messily touch from a man
I wish I could have seen things as someone would through a Childs eyes
Where there’s no mistakes and people tell you the truth instead of feeding you lies
I guess growing up in this hell filled world is what makes you learn about the wrong
turns your life takes
It all depends on what we do from there and how keep rebuilding when our body sometimes
breaks
One thing that I learned and that I will never forget even when I am far gone and
there’s only my words to pass on
That life is something that we cant take for granted and that even though I thought I
was so right I now see through my blindness that I was wrong
