to be or not to be is that really what we want to know
when before us lies such a great lesson.
but who will ever realize what it may bestow
if we dont start out by asking questions.
you might not find all the answers you seek
but at least you can be on the right track
curiousity is what seperates the strong from the weak
and the unwilling seems to get left back
we tend to cling to our beleifs wheather right or wrong
continuing to step out on faith
we feel the only way we can carry on
is by doing whatever it may take
so we try hard to bridge the gap between imagination and revelation
when we think all else is lost.
avoiding all life's greatest temptations
by knowing you end up paying the cost.
trying eagerly to escape the lies
for the human mind is so collective
for if we could take one look at us thru others eyes
we'll see life in a different perspective
They say one is the loneliest number,
And two heads are better than one.
But I say -1 is worse,
Because then you know what’s missing.
They say it is better to have loved and lost,
Then to never have loved at all
But they also say ignorance is bliss,
And knowing is half the battle
[Go Joe!]
The hell that is loss,
Is greater than lonely.
So I say screw them/they.
Learn to love yourself-
The only one who will be there for life…
Without you +1 or -1 doesn’t matter…
(It all averages out in the end…)
